You may hand carry your poster presentation. If you need them, shipping instructions and guidelines are listed below. Please do not send your poster C.O.D.

INTERACTIVE POSTER LAYOUT DESIGN SUGGESTIONS

- The interactive poster session is an extremely dynamic opportunity for you to converse with professional colleagues. Your posted materials contribute only a portion of the experience and should encourage dialogue. The higher the quality of the posted charts, the higher the quality of the interactions

- Interactive Poster Presentations should be a visual representation of your paper's textual information. The poster can be one unit or many units, as long as the total size fits the 3 feet (0.9m) high by 6 feet (1.8m) wide area. The two layouts illustrated on the next page are only two possibilities.

- There are no limitations to what the design of your interactive poster can be. We want to emphasize aesthetics: attractiveness, color, clarity and legibility. The objective is to capture the audiencefs attention, so the more colors and graphics that you use on your poster the better, as opposed to just text.

- Recommended material is a heavy grade paper that provides support. However, regular grade paper can also be used. The poster board is compatible with pushpins.

INTERACTIVE POSTER SET-UP HOURS

After your 3mins short presentation, please set up your poster at the board which show your paper number.
