2019 NAPCRG ICPF Conference Poster Information

DISPLAY FORMAT

Each display is allocated a 4-ft. by 6-ft. horizontal tackboard. Each panel should be prepared on heavyweight paper or lightweight cardboard so they are easy to mount. Presenters are urged to design posters in whatever fashion they believe best describes the program component or activity. Remember that the presentation is primarily a visual one, and make maximum use of figures, graphs, diagrams, and flow charts on the panels used.

An abstract panel is not a necessary component of any type of poster presentation and is specifically discouraged. A printed strip at least four inches high showing the title of the presentation and the names of the authors or presenter(s) should be prepared for each poster to be affixed to the top of each display with poster tacks. Your lettering for this information should not be less than one-inch in height. Your audience will be standing from three to six feet away from the poster and the lettering should be easily legible from that distance.

Each individual panel in the display should be clearly numbered in the upper right hand corner so that viewers can quickly determine the sequence to follow in viewing the individual panels in each presentation.

While your poster should be self-explanatory, if you like, we suggest bringing around 40 handouts to distribute to those who would like additional information on your poster. Please label your handout clearly with the title of your presentation.

EDITORIAL ASSISTANCE AND ARTWORK PROCESSING

Assistance in submitting artwork and other necessary material for processing for poster presentations should be obtained from the presenters' own facilities.

An effective poster presentation can be even more useful to its authors than an oral presentation. There is the opportunity for one-to-one discussion with viewers; the resulting feedback is frequently quite valuable.
