Deadline for submission of abstracts is September 30.

Up to 10 presentations can be accommodated. No additional media, computers
or laptops will be allowed.

In lieu of a poster, those wishing to give a ten-minute presentation only of
their research are encouraged to submit an abstract as well.

Guidelines for posters:

A poster session advertises your research. The aim is to communicate
efficiently and concisely your findings, allowing professional colleagues
and researchers an opportunity to study the information presented and to
discuss it with you one-on-one.

1.      Posters should be mounted on 20 x 30 foam core or stiff poster board.
There will be no poster materials provided onsite, so please assemble your
poster before coming to the session. Easels will be provided. Table top
presentations can also be accommodated.
2.      Emphasize visual elements (graphs, charts, tables, photos, etc.). The
poster should accentuate your prepared presentation, not take the place of
it.
3.      Give your poster a title, and include author (s), affiliation (s), and
abstract of its content. Divide the poster into sections as appropriate. For
example: Title, abstract, methodology, results or data, conclusion.
4.      Lettering should be simple, bold, and easily legible from a distance of
approximately four feet. Avoid using too many different fonts. Keep the
point size between 16 and 48.
5.      Feel free to bring handouts that provide a summary of your research or
project.
6.      Bring along your business card to hand out to those interested in
following up on your research.
