Recommended Poster Presentation Guidelines
2026 Poster Presentation Specifics:
1. Poster presentations will be presented in a virtual manner this year during the Wednesday evening cocktail event. Poster presentations will be displayed on your laptop
2. Please email a digital copy of your presentation and any supplemental information you'd like included as we will be developing a QR code for attendees to view your poster in a digital format. This information can be emailed to [email protected]
3. In addition to viewing your poster on your laptop during the event, please bring 50 printed copies of a one-page abstract that will serve as an overview of your poster. Given the virtual poster format, we want to ensure the presentation is accessible to all our attendees in various formats. Please ensure they are kept to a one-page overview.
4. Poster presentations will be on Wednesday evening during the cocktail event from 3:30pm to 5:00pm
Poster Format:
- The most successful and attractive posters are graphically-produced posters that highlight and summarize the main points with the poster presenter filling in the details
- It is recommended that the poster be prepared as a large PowerPoint slide. You are free to design your own template in Powerpoint. Free poster templates can also be downloaded from several websites, for example:
- Your poster must include the following information prominently displayed across the top in font size of least 54 pt:
- Title of the project
- Your name and the names of any co-authors (and their affiliations)
- Name of your advisor, if applicable
- Posters should have your university logo in the upper left- or right-hand corner
- All text should be presented in a font of at least 24 pt (preferably ≥28 pt) so that it can be read from a distance of a few feet. Suggested font sizes for subheadings: 32–44 pt. Each poster should be organized to include the following sections:
- An Abstract of 150 to 200 words summarizing the aims, hypothesis, results, and conclusions
- An Introduction to the topic
- A short synopsis of the Methods used to generate the data
- Results and Conclusions (can be in separate sections)
- A list of Citations referenced in the poster and Acknowledgements of personnel and funding sources
- Make liberal use of illustrations, data figures, and tables with captions that enable the reader to visualize your project and to interpret the data shown
