Poster Guidelines
Each poster session author will be provided with a 1 Meter x 1 Meter poster presenting area and mounting pins. Participants are responsible for mounting their posters during the presentation and in removing them as soon as the session ends. Posters left up past that time will be discarded.
All illustrations, charts, etc., to be posted should be prepared in advance as materials for these purposes will not be available at the meeting site. USG will provide a reasonable supply of push pins, but we suggest authors provide their own if possible.
Avoid overcrowding figures and cramming too many numbers into tables. Legends and titles should accompany all figures, tables, photographs, etc. in order to allow their immediate identification.
Try not to stand directly in front of your poster, allow other scientists to view the entire poster. Stand to the side.
