Poster Format Guidelines

Posters can occupy a space approximately 3.5 feet wide and 3-4 feet high. The poster boards on which these are mounted are 8 x 4 feet, and we use about 3/4 the space for one poster. Most commonly, students affix 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages individually onto separate poster board pieces. The board handles about 12-16 pages of this size. Posters can also be printed on one large sheet but be sure it fits within the poster board dimensions.

Your poster should provide information about your research project, including Title, Author, Abstract, Introduction or Background Information, Methods, Results, Discussion, References and Acknowledgments.

Please bear in mind that a poster presentation is a visual experience. Please use large type (around 20 pt.) and try to keep your Methods section relatively short, about 1-2 pages long. Use diagrams and tables in your poster.

Extended Registration deadline: Monday, October 16, 2006 . Faculty and students, to register please complete a registration form (below) and submit it via e-mail to Brenda Bretz, bretz@dickinson.edu.
