The following information may assist you in preparing an informative and professional poster display:
- Print TITLE and authors in extra large characters (over 1.25 in. high) across the top of your display.
- Display your material in large print so it may be read from a distance. It is important to use text and graphics larger and bolder than those in your manuscript! Be clear and succinct.
- Each board will be approximately 8 feet wide x 4 feet high. Usable space is 91" x 45". Boards will accept pushpins or Velcro. A (finite) supply of pushpins will be available.
- Each presentation will be assigned a board and will be labeled with the number of the paper (e.g., M5.18) and the presenting author's name. A small table will be under each board.
- Refreshments will be provided during evening sessions.
Evening Poster Sessions
Evening poster sessions will be held
Tuesday through Thursday from 8:00-11:00 p.m. Poster boards will
be available with identifying labels in place no earlier than
6:30 p.m. the evening of your poster session. Because preliminary
judging for the Meeting Chairs' Best Poster Awards will occur
before 8:00 p.m., please plan to post your paper as soon as possible
after 6:30 p.m. Unless you are the winner of a "Best
Poster Award," it is extremely important that you remove
your poster at the end of your poster session, no later than
11:00 p.m. (It is almost impossible to locate posters if
they are left on the boards after 11:00 p.m.). Winning posters
will be displayed in the ballroom foyer for the remainder of
the meeting and can be removed by the authors at their convenience.
Best Poster Presentations to Be Recognized at the 2001 MRS Spring Meeting
Note: Schedule Change for Thursday Poster Session--Marriott Hotel
Poster sessions are an important and integral part of MRS meetings, allowing many more authors the opportunity to share their research and ideas with others. Because the quality of poster sessions is a major priority of the Society, the 2001 Spring Meeting Chairs will recognize the best presentations at the evening poster sessions to be held in the San Francisco Marriott and Argent Hotels, April 17 - 19.
A prize of $500 will be awarded by the Chairs to the presenting author(s) of the winning paper(s). One or more awards will be made each evening. The Meeting Chairs will select the winners on the basis of the poster's technical content, appearance, graphic excellence, and presentation quality (not necessarily equally weighted). Winning posters will be displayed prominently for the remainder of the meeting.
