Chapter Poster Displays

Each local chapter will be allotted a 4' x 6' poster space to display a poster related to their local chapter history and recent activities. First, second, and third place ribbons will be awarded to the best regular and student local chapter posters. Posters will be judged on content and design. For more information, please visit the Local Chapter Awards page.  The deadline to reserve space is November 18, 2023.

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 Baltimore 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.
