Poster Instructions

  • Posters should be no more than 30’’ x 48’’.
  • Posters should be readable from a distance of 4 feet. The smallest readable type font at this distance is 20 point (referenced to Times New Romans).  If you have to resort to a smaller font size, you are using too much text.
  • Artwork, photos, charts, and graphs typically make up the bulk of a good poster. Detailed information is more effectively conveyed in printed handouts that can be read.
  • Multimedia equipment (audiovisual or projection) will not be available and there are a VERY LIMITED number of electrical outlets in the poster display rooms.
