Poster Details

A poster is a 30 inch by 40 inch rectangular board on which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. How you use this is up to you: you may choose to print out several 8.5"x11" or A4 sheets of paper (e.g., paper copies of overheads) and "tile" the poster board with these pages. Or, you may choose to print a single large sheet of paper describing the work and attach that to the poster board. We will provide poster boards on which you can affix your material, or you may bring your own poster board if you like. Several document companies like Kinko's produce professional-looking posters from material produced on software like Powerpoint; you may want to use such a facility.

You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, and results, and what is novel and important about your work. Plan your poster so that the important points can be understood quickly and clearly by groups of people standing in front of your poster as they move around during the poster session.
