POSTERS
Authors may choose to submit a poster instead of speaking. Posters are 4’-6’ wide and 3’ high. They will be displayed around the perimeter of the exhibit hall. Posters should be self-sufficient, but authors are encouraged to be by their posters during the main break times. Speaking submissions that rank high but don’t fit in the program will be offered the opportunity to provide a poster.
