Preparing your Poster

• We encourage you to create a colorful and visually engaging poster.
• Please include the abstract title at the top of the poster, as well as the names of all authors and their institutional affiliations. The characters in the title should be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) in height. Include your contact information (usually an email address).
• Everything on the poster, particularly drawings and charts, should be clear and simple to comprehend visually, not requiring any oral explanation.
• Be sure that your overall message is clear and that adequate background material or results are presented to support the overall message.
