Poster Presentations:
The Program Committee considers posters an important contribution to the success of this conference. The poster presentations will be given particular emphasis at the conference. Many of the presentations will provide information that was thought to be better suited to the higher level of exposure and interaction that a poster presentation affords. For this reason, and given the nature of the conference, poster presentations are seen as an extremely important venue for information exchange.

Poster Format

• Size of Poster: Poster sizes will be limited to .762 meters (30 inches) wide by 1.27 meters (50 inches) tall. Make sure you poster is printed to read .762 meters (30 inches) across - from left to right.
• Poster boards will be available at conference site for display of your poster.

Poster Instructions

• Posters will be assigned to a poster board number listed in our Conference Program Book (distributed at conference site). Find your assigned poster board to display your poster.
• Include abstract title and authors.
• No audio/visual equipment will be allowed for poster presentation (No electrical will be available).
• Poster should be self-explanatory so that you are free to supplement and discuss any points of inquiry. The poster session provides a more intimate forum for discussion than an oral presentation. This becomes difficult if you are obliged to devote most of your time explaining your poster to a succession of visitors.
