The Posters will be visited by many attendees at the conference. It is important that your poster is clear, concise, and well laid out for maximum impact.
A tack board approximately 4 ft high by 8 ft wide (1.2 m high by 2.4 m wide) will be provided. Your poster should fit within these dimensions. Dimensions are subject to change. Further details will be provided by early May 2022.
1. Thumbtacks will be provided. These should be large and strong enough to support your poster.
2. The title of your poster must be in lettering at least 1 in high (72 pt.), and your poster must include your name and affiliation.
