Guidelines for Making Poster Presentations

 

All poster sessions will be located at the University of Wisconsin in the Memorial Union.  There will be three poster sessions. The posterboards will be 4' high x 6' wide. The net usable space for a poster will be 3'8" (1.1 meters) high x 5'7" (1.7 meters) wide poster board.

 

Posters are grouped by the session topic and then alphabetically by the presenting author’s last name.

Presenters may mount abstracts beginning at 8:00 am on the day of their presentation.  All abstracts will be up for one day. 

 

Authors will present according to the following schedule:

 

Wednesday, June 25 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm Poster Session 1 - even numbered posters
  9:15 pm – 10:30 pm Poster Session 1 - odd numbered posters
  10:30 pm - 11:00 pm Open Viewing
Thursday, June 26 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm Poster Session 2 - even numbered posters
  9:15 pm – 10:30 pm Poster Session 2 - odd numbered posters
  10:30 pm - 11:00 pm Open Viewing
Friday, June 27 4:30 pm – 5:45 pm Poster Session 3 - even numbered posters
  5:45  pm – 7:00 pm Poster Session 3 - odd numbered posters
  7:00 pm - 7:30 pm Open Viewing

 

All presenters should remove their abstracts at the end of their poster session.  After that time, remaining posters will be removed and may be lost or thrown away. The meeting does not take responsibility for posters that are not removed on time.

Guidelines for Preparing Effective Posters

 

A great poster is readable, legible, well organized and succint.

 

  • Prepare a heading at the top of your poster indicating the abstract title, authors and affiliations.
  • Authors can include a picture of themselves to facilitate registrants finding them to discuss their work after the day of their presentation.
  • Posters should be designed to summarize current research in graphic forms: charts, tables, graphs, pictures, etc.  Simple use of color can add effective emphasis.
  • Make the title large enough to be read easily from a reasonable distance (~ 4 feet).
  • Use a type size that can be read easily at a distance.  Using a font that is too small is the single most common error in poster preparation!  If there's not enough space to fit all the text, shorten the text.
  • Details of methodology should be brief and should be placed at the end of the legend.  Many successful posters provide a bulleted list of conclusions and questions raised. 
  • Some references should be provided, but they need not be as extensive as those in papers.  References supply interested parties with routes into the literature and provide the proper context for your work. 
  • Audiovisual equipment is not permitted in the poster board area.

 

Rather than carrying your poster to the meeting, the following locations are available to print it and be ready when you arrive in Madison:

 

College Library - 600 N. Park Street

Bob's Copy Shop - 616 University Avenue

 

Please note that the use of  cameras and other recording devices in plenary, concurrent and poster sessions is prohibited without expressed permission from an authorized GSA representative.

 

The poster schedule may not be altered.  If there is a conflict in presentation times, you must cancel your presentation or change presenters.  Please notify Anne Marie Mahoney, at mahoney@genetics-gsa.org or (301) 634-7039 by June 12, 2014 with any cancellations.
