Instructions for Speed Presentations
In the first hour of a speed presentation session, 15 speakers
will be given four (4) minutes each to present their key ideas and
results. In the second hour, presenters will station themselves at
separate tables where they can interact with people who are interested
in learning more about their work.
Instructions for Posters
Posters will be displayed prominently and for the entire

discussion between authors and attendees. Pins will be provided to hang
posters.
POSTER AREA (Display Space)
The dimensions of each poster
can be no larger than 48 inches high and 48 inches wide (122 cm X 122
cm).
POSTER LAYOUT
The preferred method of creating
a poster is using design or presentation software such as Microsoft
PowerPoint or Adobe Pagemaker. These programs allow you to lay out the
entire poster, including text and graphics, in a single file and then
print it using a large, color printer.
Posters should include the submitted abstract. Posters should be easy
to understand and be readable from 3-4 feet away. The title should be
printed across the top of the poster in characters of at least 84 pt.
Author(s), and affiliation(s) should be at least 42 pt.
Subheadings should be at least
30 pt, and all text, including figures and tables, should be no smaller
than 24 pt. Examples:
Title - 84 pt.
Authors & addresses - 42 pt.
Section Headings - 30 pt.
Text - 24 pt.
