Workshop Poster Presentations
Congratulations on the acceptance of your abstract for a Poster Presentation during this year’s SCMR/ISMRM Co-Provided Workshop. Your participation is key to the success of this meeting and we hope that the audience can learn as much as possible from your scientific work and, at the same time, provide suggestions for future improvements.
The Poster Session will take place during the evening reception on Wednesday, February 1, 2017. During the session, you are requested to stay at your designated poster area for answering questions and discussions but a formal presentation is not necessary. Your poster should remain displayed during all hours of the Workshop. You will then move your poster to the Scientific Session's poster area in Exhibit Hall B to the Workshop Posters' designated area for the remainder of the meeting.
In order to provide an interactive participation, some details are important to remember when preparing your poster:
1. Posters should be in place for display by 8:00 pm EST on Wednesday, February 1, 2017. A poster may contain text, graphs, photographs, diagrams, etc., which can be affixed to a board measuring 70 inches in height x 40 inches in width (portrait orientation). The poster format is portrait (or vertical) rather than landscape (horizontal). Please note that no audiovisual or power outlets are available for poster presentations.
2. Provide the full title of your abstract (at least 2 inches/5 cm high – it might be the only thing an attendee will read at first) as well as a list of all authors and affiliations. Use this information as a headline for your work.
3. Text should include the elements used during your submission (Background, Hypothesis, Results and Conclusions) in an expanded form and in more depth.
4. Provide a clear take-home message which highlights the main findings of your poster and identify that message in the poster in warm color. That point should be read at eye level.
5. Your poster should be readable at a distance of 5 feet / 1.5 meters – for that a suggested font size no smaller than 24 should be used in bold style. Use color wisely to provide contrast for each section of your poster. Try to avoid big tables as they generally are hard to read from a distance and present as much data in graphs as possible. Make the flow of your poster logical. Try to keep a limit of 300-800 words.
6. Include a sentence of potential conflicts-of-interest in the poster.
7. Remember that hundreds of posters and presentations will be available to attendees. Highlight in your poster what is the question asked and how you answered it so you can attract people passing by.
