Abstracts scheduled for presentation in poster sessions will be grouped by topic, numbered, listed in the program and published in the abstract book in the usual manner. Your abstract confirmation letter will inform you of the time and place for your poster session.

The poster board is approximately 1.0m (40") high and 1.5m (60") wide. For the top of your poster, prepare a heading or sign indicating the title, authors and affiliations. The lettering for this section should not be less than 25mm (1") high.

Posters should be mounted on the assigned board as early as possible before the scheduled poster session (check with the registration desk for the appropriate time for mounting your poster). Posters should be in place for the full session period as scheduled in the program. Mount your poster on the fiberboard by means of push-pins.

All illustrations, charts and drawings should be similar to those you would use in making slides, only larger and more heavily drawn. Keep illustrative material simple. Do not mount material on heavy cardboard because it may be difficult to keep in position on the poster board. Printed material should be prepared using large type that is readable from a distance. Keep text brief. Hand-lettered material should be at least 3/8" high; block letters should be shaded where possible. The use of color can add emphasis effectively. The poster should be clear and understandable without oral explanation.

An ABSTRACT of your presentation should be posted. It is useful to have a tablet or sketch pad and a marking pen to use in discussion and further illustration.

• DO NOT: Use tape of any kind on poster boards (this incudes scotch, masking, two-sided tape, etc.)
• DO NOT: Use adhesive backed foam strips on poster boards.
• DO NOT: Paint, draw or write on poster boards.

A suggested arrangement of poster material is illustrated below. For information or assistance check with the registration desk.

Provide a heading containing the title, names of authors and affiliations to identify your presentation easily. Post a copy of your abstract. Plan layout for effective presentation of all illustrations, figures, tables, schemes, equations, text, etc. Keep simple with large letters. Mount your material on the fiber- board by means of push-pins. BRING YOUR OWN PINS; you will need approximately 50.
