USNCCM13 Poster Guidelines/Instructions
Day of the Poster Session
· You may begin placing your poster on the poster board at noon on Tuesday, July 28. The poster session will be held in Grand Hall A on the first floor of the Manchester Grand Hyatt hotel.
· You are expected to be at your assigned space to discuss the work presented on from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. We will email your space assignment the week prior to the Congress.
· Greet people who walk by.
· Be prepared to respond to questions concerning all aspects of the project.
· Have a brief “prepared” statement about your research. People will often come to you and say, “Tell me about your research in 1 minute.”
· You can also have a handout of supplemental materials or a reduced version of your poster on 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
· You will need to remove your poster after the session is over. The boards will be taken away the next morning; any posters remaining will be thrown away.
Preparing the Poster
· A poster is a visual representation of the work that you have accomplished; it should “tell the story” of the work you have done.
· The maximum poster size is 42 inches high by 48 inches wide.
· Do not fill your poster with text; a general guideline is to designate 20% for text, 40% for graphics, and 20% for empty space. The most effective posters have minimal text.
· It is always a good idea to have someone proofread your poster before you send it for final printing.
· Be sure to talk to your advisor or mentor about the norms for developing a poster.
· You must have your poster printed before the Congress. We will not be able to print your posters for you.
· We will provide you with pins to mount your poster. They will be available in Grand Hall A beginning at noon on Tuesday, July 28th.
