POSTER GUIDELINES

| The poster sessions at this year’s
conference, and their accompanying receptions, will be held on Thursday, March
21 and Friday, March 22, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., immediately following the last
paper presentation on each of those days. We plan to use the “Dining
Commons” space on the 8th floor of CUNY Graduate Center. Authors are
urged to set up their posters immediately after the poster session starts.
(We will store your poster during the day, if you wish.) If you are an
author or co-author or more than one poster, please make sure that there will be
at least one presenter at each poster during the entire session. |
-
We will provide an easel and poster board
with dimensions 30” by 40” (A0, roughly). The board can be positioned
either vertically or horizontally on the easel, as you choose; only one side of
the board can be used for displaying the poster. We will also provide
thumbtacks (no tape, please). There will be a table and a chair close to
each easel. Please let us know if your poster needs to be located near an
electrical outlet, say for a computer-based demonstration. (You must provide
your own computer.) We will try to accommodate your request --- but note,
the number of outlets is limited.
-
Your poster should include the title and
name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s), and a short abstract. Use a
font for the title large enough to be read from a distance of 12 feet (~4
meters); the rest of the poster should be readable from a distance of 6 feet (~2
meters). In the case of posters reporting experiments, it is advisable to
include example sentences or other materials and a brief description of your
methods, as well as your findings and conclusions.
-
Note that you will have no access to the
Dining Commons space until the session starts. It is therefore wise to
prepare your poster in a way that allows it to be promptly positioned on the
easel. The poster must be removed at the close of the session.
-
You may wish to bring a handout describing your work. This
practice is useful in light of the large number of posters that are scheduled
for each session. We regret that CUNY Graduate Center is unable to provide
photocopy services; however, there are copy shops in the neighborhood.
