Poster Information

Poster Sessions

There are five poster sessions scheduled at this year’s SNL meeting. All poster sessions are held in Field House (Building 16) located directly next to Elstad auditorium. To get to Field House (Building 16) enter the main campus entrance/front gate off of Florida Avenue, at the split turn right. Field House (Building 16) will be the second building on your right.

Each session is 1 hour and 30 minutes. The poster number assigned to you will tell you which session you are presenting in. For example, B15 would be Poster Session B, poster board 15.

Poster boards are 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall (243.8 by 121.9 cm), however the actual usable board space is 90 inches wide by 42 inches tall (228.6 x 106.6 cm). Figures and type should be easily seen from a distance of 6-8 feet. Use clear graphics and large type to accomplish this.

Presentation Schedule

The first author must be present during the entire poster session. If the first author is unable to present, the abstract must be withdrawn or permission must be granted for another author to present.

You may post your materials on the board assigned to you at any time after the “Set-up Begins” time, but all posters must be up before the beginning of the assigned poster session. You must remove your poster promptly–no later than the “Take-down Complete” time. Any posters left up after the “Take-down Complete” time may be discarded.

Session	Date	Location	Set-up Begins	Session Hours	Take-down Complete
Poster Session A	Friday, September 12	Field House	10:00 am	11:00 am - 12:30 pm	1:30 pm
Poster Session B	Friday, September 12	Field House	2:30 pm	4:30 - 6:00 pm	7:30 pm

Poster Session E	Sunday, September 14	Field House	8:00 am	11:00 am - 12:30 pm	12:30 pm

Pushpins will be available. Tape, glue and other adhesives are not to be used on the poster boards. Poster boards will be numbered by SNL. No electricity is available onsite.

Title

Prepare a banner for the top of the poster indicating the abstract title, authors, and affiliations. Lettering should be approximately 4 cm high for the title, 2 cm high for the authors' names, and 1.5 cm high for affiliations.

Text

Posters should be complete and self-supporting so that different viewers may read at their leisure. The author should only need to supplement or discuss particular points raised during inquiry. Remember that people of varying degrees of interest and experience may be viewing your poster. Therefore, you will want to make your points as complete and brief as possible.

The standard elements are: Introduction, Methods, Results (with supporting figures), and a Conclusion or Summary. Type should be seen easily from a short distance.

Illustrations

Figures should also be seen easily from a short distance (about 1 m). Use clear graphics and large type to accomplish this. The main points should be straightforward and not require extended viewing, but details should be included for those who might wish to discuss it. Because the amount of text is restricted, the figure legend may contain some of the commentary that would usually be contained in the body of a manuscript.

Suggestions for Creating Effective Posters

Minimize narrative.
Use large type in short, separated paragraphs.
Do not set entire paragraphs in boldface or capital letters.
Numbered or bulleted lists are a concise and effective way to convey a series of points.
Figures should easily be seen from a distance. Use dark colors on a white or light background.
It is not necessary to post a copy of your abstract.

Working with Interpreters

Sign language interpreters will be present throughout the conference to support accessible communication. If you are not used to working with interpreters, please keep these tips in mind.

Always direct your attention and speech to the person you are conversing with, rather than the interpreter.
Speak at your natural pace—there’s no need to slow down unnaturally, as interpreters are trained to keep up.
Please avoid speaking over others, as interpreters can only interpret one person at a time.
Be mindful of visual sight lines so that interpreters and Deaf participants have a clear view of each other.

If you are giving a talk, we kindly ask that you share a draft of your slides at least 1–2 weeks in advance to allow interpreters to prepare for technical content and terminology.
