Guidelines for Poster Displays

  • Displays may consist of a one-piece poster, or a two dimensional collection of smaller pieces which utilize the panel as a background.
  • Posters must measure not more than 72" wide x 36" high or 6ft x 3ft.
  • Handouts may not be left on the floor but can be affixed with velcro (male) to the lower portion of the poster board.
  • Business card or brochure holders may be attached to the display panel using velcro (male).
  • Displays will be showcased during the conference breaks and lunch. We ask that a representative be present at the poster during these times.

 

You will be Responsible for:

  • Setting up your own poster on Thursday October 16 between 3pm and 4pm.
  • All expenses associated with creating your presentation, conference registration and travel expenses to the conference.
  • We will provide you with the “male” or “hook” Velcro and/or push pins needed to attach your poster to the poster boards. For heavier items please ensure that there is sufficient Velcro attached to the items to prevent damage or falling.
