Poster Preparation Guidelines & Tips

Recommendations for Presentation Clarity

  • Prepare your 1-page poster in landscape format; most common size is 36 inches (height) x 48 inches (width).
  • Use large font sizes, e.g. title 80 font size or larger, sub-headers 60 or larger, section content at least 45 or larger.  While SpatialChat provides the zooming in feature, its ratio is limited. It is important that your font size is not too small. 
  • A concise and to-the-point title.
  • Organized to guide the observer through information in a logical order.
  • Provides the motivation, objectives and approach of the research.
  • Summarizes the key results and highlights the impact of the work.
  • Proper use of colors, graphics, figures, text and white space.
  • Moderate use of long text blocks.
  • Efficient use of graphics to convey complex information.

Recommendations for Technical Merit

  • The work presented is novel (e.g., novel material, novel device, novel conversion mechanism, novel theoretical approach, novel characterization method, etc.).
  • Systematic analysis conducted to arrive at results.
  • Conclusions supported by the data.
