What size should my poster be?

The maximum size for posters is 4’ x 6’. Posters can be printed on either paper or cloth.

Can I print my poster at the conference?

How long will poster sessions last?

Each poster session will last 1 hour. Please plan to be at your poster for the entire hour that you are scheduled to present.

How and when should I set up my poster?

Each poster will be numbered, you will find a poster board corresponding to your number in the room. Materials will be provided for hanging your poster. Please plan to arrive early to set up your poster before your session begins. Members of the program committee will provide additional information on the timing of your specific poster session in advance of the conference.

How and when will I be notified of my poster’s acceptance?

Acceptance notices will be sent via email in late April. You will also receive a scheduling notice including the day, time, and location of your poster session in May.
