Poster Guidelines

• Your poster size cannot be larger than 42 inches wide x 40 inches high.
• Please prepare your poster keeping in mind that it needs to be easily visible and readable from a distance of 3 - 4 feet from the board.
• Be concise. Use appropriate font size (Main Title: font size > 60; Headings: font size > 36; Text: font size > 18).
• The poster should be divided into logical subdivisions such as: Objectives; Methods; Results; Discussion; Conclusions.
• Figures and tables should be similarly sized, concise and easily interpretable to the reader.
• There should be a natural and understandable flow from one subdivision of the presentation to another so that the reader does not get lost or have trouble understanding what is being presented.
