Posters are judged in 10-minute timed sessions. Presenters should budget five minutes to present their poster with five minutes for the judge's questions. All attendees are assigned a poster to judge, so presenters should be prepared to present their work succinctly and to a broad audience. After the judged sessions, presenters will remain at their posters for the general poster session.

Poster size is recommended at 36in x 48in landscape format.
