For this year’s event schedule,
Poster Format:
All posters should be formed on a single 30 x 40-inch sheet.
We will provide a foam board and an adjustable easel to hold the poster during the session. Since no bulletin boards will be available to pin up your poster, the faculty must mount or clip their poster on the foam board so it can stand freely using an easel.
