Poster Guidelines

All students who attend the conference will be required to present a scientific poster. Students should print their posters locally, and travel with them. Poster boards are made of a fabric material, therefore adhesive tape will not work. Pushpins will be available to adhere posters to the poster boards.

  • Poster size maximum: 3′ x 3′
  • Recommend a minimum font size of 24 for the text in your poster.
