Presenter Guidelines

Posters

  • Mount posters when you pick-up your badge on Thursday evening or Friday morning. Remove after the Sunday afternoon session.
  • Poster boards are split in half (with divider tape) to accommodate TWO posters per side. NOTE: This is different than the ASMS annual conference where we feature one poster per side.
  • Each poster space will be approx. 43-in. x 43-in. We suggest that posters are printed at no larger than 42-inches wide. If your poster is slightly taller (portrait-style), this will be fine (it will hang slightly below the board frame).
  • Push pins will be available. Poster boards are Velcro-compatible but you need to bring your own Velcro! 

Invited Talks and Short Talks

  • There will be a PC laptop and a MAC laptop available for presentations.  Please arrive 30' before the session to load and test your presentation, there will be an AV technician onsite to assist you.
  • Invited speakers: You have 25' for your presentation followed by 5' for Q&A.
  • Promoted abstract speakers: You have 15' for your presentation followed by 5' for Q&A.

Poster Highlight Talks

These are 'flash-style talks'. Each will be 30 to 45-seconds (exact length to be determined). There will not be Q&A after each presentation (that is what your poster is for!).  Presenters are advised to prepare a minimum number of slides (like one or two).
