Tips for your Poster Presentation:

• Place the title at the top center of the poster.
• Use 72 point letters.
• Avoid hand drawn materials.
• Keep it simple.
• Do not post the pages of your paper.
• Make sure it has a logical flow.
• Use color, graphics, charts, and photos.
• Key points should be in large type.
• Do not try to tell the entire story on the panel.
• Save some key points for the one-on-one discussion.
• Avoid the following color combinations: Green&Red; Green&Brown; Blue&Purple; Green&Blue; Light Green&Yellow; Blue&Grey; Green&Grey; Green&Black
• At this time, we ask Presenting Authors to begin making arrangements in case of a government shutdown.  Please plan to have your own contingency plan in the event that you will not be able to join us in Boston regardless of your government status (i.e. travel issues due to weather, illness, etc.). This includes identifying a backup presenter and sharing a preliminary version of the presentation.

If needed, you can find your presentation date, time and location posted in the
