Poster Preparation Guidelines Please note: The size of the poster board is 4ft high x 8ft wide. Moderated Poster Session Information A poster session is designed to permit the author to explain and illustrate his/her concepts, techniques or research findings in a manner that will promote understanding more readily than does a “rapid fire” podium address. Authors must be present during the entire session to respond to questions from the audience, which will be moderated. Moderated Poster Session Format 1. Each poster presenter is given a total of 4 minutes - 2 minutes for presentation and 2 minute for discussion. 2. Each presenter is required to pre-submit two slides (one data & one summary) to be shown during this presentation. You may also have an additional title/author slide. PowerPoint is required for this presentation. You will not be permitted to use your own laptop at the podium.
