Information for Presenters

  • If your accepted poster is missing from this page, or if there is a problem with its listing, please notify the organizers by email.
  • Your poster number, which you will need to locate the poster board assigned to you, is the number listed above next to your name. This number may change before July 27, 2009 but it will be fixed after July 27.
  • Set up your poster during the lunch break on the day of your presentation (Thursday, August 6 for Poster Session 1 or Saturday, August 8 for Poster Session 2). Please use the recommended method to attach your poster to the cloth poster boards - velcro stickers will be available. Poster boards will be located in the Junior and Senior Rooms, which are adjacent to the Great Hall.
  • Poster boards have a portrait orientation: 4 feet (120 cm) wide by 6 feet (180 cm) tall.
  • Poster presenters are expected to be at their posters from 20:30 to 23:30 on the day of their presentation. Please be available to present your work during this time. Beverage and food service ends at 23:00; the poster session ends at midnight.
  • Remove your poster before the end of the first coffee break on the day following your presentation and no earlier than midnight on the day of your presentation.
