Poster Presenters
Poster Presenter Tasks
Once a poster presenter has accepted their role, they will be sent access to our Poster Harvester to aid them in building their presenter profile & uploading materials to increase visibility for attendees on the SFB mobile app. Here is an overview of all poster presenter tasks:
- Create a physical poster to print & bring onsite at the Annual Meeting
- Upload a poster image to be seen on our ePoster gallery (landscape image used for creating the physical poster)
- Update presenter profile with contact details, headshot, and biography
- Register for the Annual Meeting
- Secure housing for the Annual Meeting (if necessary)
Poster Format
Each poster will have a display area of four (4) feet high by four (4) feet wide to display your materials. Posters that do not fit within the standard display area are subject to removal.
You may display your information in figures, tables, text, photographs, etc. Please prepare all illustrations neatly and legibly beforehand, in a size sufficient to read at a distance of three (3) feet. A series of typewritten sheets attached to the poster board is not acceptable. Pushpins (thumbtacks) will be available to fasten your material to the poster board.
You can find additional tips on building a poster and complimentary templates for creation inspiration below.
Poster Set-Up
Poster presentations will be scheduled for 3 different days and times. Poster setup will occur the morning of your scheduled Poster Session and MUST remain on display until the conclusion of the day’s events. Authors will be responsible for dismantling their posters. Any poster left on poster boards will be discarded. SFB assumes no responsibility for posters left on poster boards following the closing of the exhibit hall on the scheduled day. Additional information will be provided prior to the conference.
Throughout the meeting, it is crucial that poster tubes are NOT left in the Poster Hall. Tubes left on the floor or leaning on poster boards cause safety hazards for all attendees. Poster tubes left on the floor of the poster hall WILL be removed.
SFB might create a space for poster tube storage, but this will depend on space availability. Keeping your poster tube in your hotel room and out of the poster hall would be the safest place for all attendees.
