Posters

Scheduled for 1 hour and 40 minutes, posters are the format for individual, free-standing research presentations. Posters are the appropriate format when material can be explained briefly, is suited for graphic or visual presentation, and/or the presenter would benefit from high levels of interaction and discussion.

• Posters will be displayed for 1 hour and 40 minutes in the exhibit hall.
• Each accepted poster will occupy one poster board for the entire poster session.
• No electrical power will be available.
