General

In a poster session there is no oral presentation of paper as in a conventional paper session. Instead, each author will be assigned one 76 cm x 101 cm (30” x 40”) black foam board on which diagrams, graphs, data, picture, and small amount of text may be mounted. The form board will be mounted on an easel. Each author will be expected to remain with his/her poster presentation throughout the 60- minute poster session.

Schedule

Poster sessions will be held on Wednesday, July 19 and Tuesday, July 25. A schedule of assignments will be posted in the lobby of the Panofsky Auditorium, and announcements will be made. You may set up your poster as early as 3:00 p.m. on the day of the session. All authors are expected to remain with their presentations from 6:00 p.m.- 7:00p.m.
