INFORMATION FOR POSTER PRESENTERS The poster sessions at this year’s conference will be held on the evening of Thursday (March 23) and at lunch time on Friday (March 24) and Saturday (March 25). We will use the concourse area and some adjacent break-out spaces immediately outside Proshansky Auditorium. - Goodbye, wobbly easels! The poster boards we will use this year are sturdy and conventional, with the following approximate dimensions: 4 feet wide x 6 feet high (1.25 meters wide x 2 meters high). Your poster may 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 provide the means for attaching your poster to the board (no tape or thumb-tacks, please).
- The poster boards will accommodate posters measuring up to 34" x 44" (A0 size) in either portrait or landscape formats. We strongly recommend (but do not insist upon) portrait format. Portrait format allows any presenter, not just those who are astonishingly slim, to stand close to his or her poster.
- 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.
- The poster boards will be set up continuously, permitting authors to hang their poster in the morning, for display throughout the day. During the poster session, at least one presenter should be at each poster at all times. The poster must be removed at the end of the day (at the close of the poster session on Thursday; no later than the end of the last paper on Friday and Saturday).
- We recommend that you 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, e.g., Kinko's (191 Madison Avenue, between 34th and 35th Streets).
