Poster Specifications and Instructions
Size
- Maximum width: 48 inches (poster boards are 96" wide x 48" high)
- Maximum height: 48+ inches (your poster can hang off the bottom edge of the poster board), but it will not be supported. Try to design your poster to be smaller than the maximum space allowed, so that the provided handout folder can easily fit with your poster.
Setup and takedown
Poster set up and takedown times for the 2011 Alaska Marine Science Symposium are based on the agenda, which will determine who presents when. Once the agenda is set, poster presenters will receive detailed information; this usually happens in December, before Christmas.
In general, presenters have a window of several hours in which to set up their posters. Presenters should be available to stand by their poster and answer questions during their assigned poster session. Poster sessions are held concurrent with evening receptions.
If you wish to keep your poster, be sure to take it down before your assigned deadline. If you do not remove your poster by this time, your poster will be removed for you and stored in another area; you may or may not be able to retrieve it later.
Setup Location
Posters are displayed on panels in the Endeavor, Adventure, Resolution and Easter Island Rooms of the Hotel Captain Cook, Lower Lobby. See map
You do not need to check in with anyone before setting up your poster. A sign with your poster title and authors’ names will be tacked on the spot where you should set up your poster. Pins will be provided.
You are encouraged to bring handouts of your poster or other related information. We will provide folders that you can tack to your poster panel for holding handouts.
Please store your poster tube (if you have one) in your room or in your car after putting up your poster. There will not be room at your poster location for storage for the tubes.
