Poster presentation information
Be sure to review the ASBMB photography and recording policy and download the icons applicable to your presentation.
Poster presentations provide an opportunity for the interchange of ideas between presenters and attendees interested in their research. Posters should be outlined so the research can be understood without an oral explanation as a poster may also be viewed when the author is not present.
Poster presenters are required to:
- Register to attend the conference.
- Present poster in person at the assigned date, time and location.
Poster board dimensions
Each poster board surface area of 4 ft. x 8 ft. will display two posters per side. Your poster should be no larger than 44” high x 44” wide.
Setup
Posters will be presented in the exhibit hall. Poster boards will be numbered sequentially. Locate your assigned poster board and mount your poster between 8–9:30 a.m. on the day of your presentation. Pushpins will be provided in the poster area.
Your poster should be displayed on the day of your assigned presentation only. A poster that is displayed on the wrong day will be removed.
Session
You must be at your poster during your assigned presentation time to discuss research with interested individuals. Please refer to the schedule below.
Take-down
You must remove your poster at the end of the session. Any materials left on the poster board at the end of the session will be discarded. The ASBMB will not be responsible for any poster material left behind at the end of each session.
