Session Time: 1 hour

• The session format allows an expanded poster presentation opportunity.

Presentation Format/Content
All moderated poster presenters are required to submit one PowerPoint presentation (a maximum of 8 slides) and one electronic poster presentation in PDF form (limited to one page). The maximum size of each file is 1G. The following is the standard information that must be included in both the PowerPoint and electronic poster presentations.

• Title slide

If a presenter has submitted his/her financial disclosure and has no further updates to report, the presenter does not need to create a disclosure slide.)

Moderated Poster (Electronic Poster) Text/Design

• Text Format: The poster presentation should be self-contained and not require any additional oral explanation to be understood by the attendees. Text should be brief and well organized, presenting only enough data to support your conclusions and logically display data. The text should make clear the significance of your research. A style using bullets tends to be the most effective format.
• Arrangement of Text: A clear, simple, uncluttered arrangement is the most attractive and easiest to read.
• Images and Photos: Graphs and photos also need to be large enough to be seen clearly at 6 feet. Illustrations should be simple and eye-catching, with unnecessary detail left out. (Be sure to use high-resolution photos only).
• Audio/Video:Presenters are allowed to have a brief sound and/or video in their PowerPoint presentations. However, sound and video is not allowed in electronic presentations.

Text/Design Suggestions: If possible, convert tables to graphic displays. Pie graphs can be used to show parts of a whole, line graphs can be used to show trends or changing relationships, and bar graphs can be used to show volumes. Avoid lengthy paragraphs and excessively complex tables.
