Poster Session II on Saturday goes from 12:30-13:45.

- A poster session is a presentation where materials such as maps, photographs, graphs, charts, and/or tables are posted on a display board along with brief textual summaries of their work. Ideally, a well-constructed poster will be self-explanatory. Successful poster presentations are those which achieve both coverage and clarity.
- Each poster display should include a lettered sign giving the title and the name(s) of the presenter(s). This sign should be 6 inches in height with letters at least 2 inches high in a bold font.
- Extensive, imaginative use of captioned illustrations, photographs, graphs, or other types of visually appealing material is an extremely effective mode of communication in a poster presentation.
- People attending a poster session are free to move about from poster to poster, and there is not enough time for people to read excessive text. Text should be limited to four or five pages of double-spaced, 16-20 point text. This will allow lettering to be read from several feet away.
- Be sure to provide clear labels for each section of your presentation.
- You will be provided with one free-standing cork display board and push pins. The board dimensions are 4-feet high x 6-feet wide (a "landscape" format). Bring other materials that you might need. Do not write or paint directly on the display board.
- Check the program for your scheduled Poster Session.
- Locate your assigned space and have your materials posted and organized before your scheduled time.
- Audio-visual equipment for contributed posters is not provided. Electricity (two outlets per poster) will be provided.
- After the presentation is concluded, remove your posted materials immediately.
