Poster Presentation Guidelines

ISCAR 2008

Description of Poster Presentation:

Poster presentations provide a unique opportunity to engage with interested colleagues in a direct and personal manner.  Face-to-face communication is encouraged during the time frame of one-hour and a half.  During this time, you will serve as the “docent” to your poster, explaining or elaborating key features to participants.  Because your poster may remain on display beyond the scheduled time it is important that the “text” of the poster is well organized, clear and interpretable by the viewer in your absence.
