Meeting Registration

All poster presenters are required to register and wear their meeting badge while presenting their poster. If you are unable to present your poster, please Contact Us as soon as possible.

Poster Sessions

All poster sessions are held in Kimmel Center: Shorin & Rosenthal Rooms.

Poster Presentations

Poster boards are  60" W x 70" H (152.4 cm x 177.8 cm), with a 1 inch border. We recommend that your poster be printed with maximum dimensions of 58" W × 68" H (147 cm × 172 cm) in portrait orientation. Figures and type should be easily seen from a distance of 6 feet. Use clear graphics and large type to accomplish this.

Each poster is assigned a number, called the Board Number, which will indicate where to post your poster. Poster boards are numbered in the upper-right corner of the board.

Posters may be put up starting at the Set-Up time. Please do not hang posters earlier as they may be removed. All posters must be taken down by the Take-Down Completed time on the same day.

Supplies and Equipment

Pushpins are provided at each poster board to mount your poster to the board. Additional pushpins are available near the poster room entrance. Tape, glue and other adhesives are not to be used on the poster boards.

Contact signup sheets are available in the poster room. Pin the contact signup sheet on your board if you would like people to leave their name and email for future contact.

Suggestions for Creating Effective Posters

• Prepare a title banner indicating abstract title, author(s) and affiliation(s). Lettering should be at least one inch high.
• Minimize narrative.
• For figures, use dark colors on white or light backgrounds. Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance (about three feet).
• Use large type and short separated paragraphs.
• Do not set entire paragraphs in boldface or capital letters.
• Numbered or bulleted lists are a concise but effective way to convey a series of points.
• It is not necessary to post a copy of your abstract.

Technical Assistance

If you have a problem of any kind, need assistance hanging your poster, or need supplies, look for the CCN staff person stationed near the entrance of the poster room. If you cannot find CCN staff in the poster room, go to the Registration Desk for assistance.

Additional Poster Printing Services

We encourage poster presenters to print out their posters ahead of time and bring them to the conference, as local printers may not have capacity to do a large number of posters on short notice.

Keep in mind that during busy times, it may take one or more working days for your poster to get printed. We recommend that you get your printing order placed before arriving in New York.
