 Frequently Asked Questions 

What is my poster number/id? 

Your poster number is the final identifier for your abstract and poster. This number will be used when publishing your abstract as well as in the exhibit hall to identify your poster. This number will be sent you in October.

The poster board itself is a 4 feet x 8 feet (121.92 cm x 243.84 cm) horizontal format (approximately 3'6"-3'9" high x 7'5"-7'9" wide, not counting the frame). At minimum, we recommend that your poster is at least 3 feet in length x 4 feet in width.
