IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REMEMBER:

There will be two poster sessions at the annual meeting. Posters ending in an odd number will be on display on Thursday, April 8. Posters ending in an even number will be on display on Friday, April 9. Authors are only required to be present during their assigned display time. Posters will be set-up and displayed in the exhibit hall.

Poster Guidelines

If your poster board number ends in an odd number:

If your poster board number ends in an even number:

Please plan to be available during your assigned author-attended session so that you can discuss your work and answer questions from attendees. The author-attended sessions are relatively informal, with attendees visiting several posters during the allotted time period. You are not expected to prepare a formal presentation, but should be ready to discuss your work with attendees who stop to view your poster.
