Printing  and  Displaying  Your  Poster    Posters  should  use  the  International  Standards  Organization  (ISO)  216  European  A1  format  in  portrait  orientation.  The  dimensions  for  A1  format  are  594mm  x  841mm,  or  23.4”  x  33.1”.      The  conference  will  provide  easels,  blank  foam  boards  of  size  24”  x  35”,  clips,  and  push  pins.  Presenters  may  bring  their  posters  already  printed  on  foam  boards,  or  they  can  bring  rolled  up  posters  and  use  the  clips  or  push  pins  to  secure  them  to  the  conference-­‐provided  foam  boards.    Do  not  tape  posters  to  the  foam  boards  provided  by  the  conference.    

Poster  Design  Tips    The  following  tips  may  help  you  prepare  a  successful  poster:    

§ A  poster  should  be  self-­‐explanatory  for  someone  who  just  walks  up  to  it  and  looks  at  it.  

§ Readability  is  critical;  use  modest  amount  of  text  in  a  large,  sans-­‐serif  font    (e.g.,  Helvetica).  

o Titles  and  main  headings  should  be  no  smaller  than  72  pt.  font.  

o All  other  text  should  be  no  smaller  than  36  pt.  font.  

§ Figures,  tables,  and  charts  should  be  large  enough  to  read  easily.  § Do  not  print  and  tape  pages  of  the  abstract  or  paper  to  the  poster.  

§ Simplify  what  you  present;  subtleties  and  complexities  can  be  conveyed  verbally.  

§ Include  a  contact  address  (e.g.,  e-­‐mail)  so  someone  who  is  interested  can  follow  up.
