Poster Session Guidelines

Poster presentations should be understandable to a broad range of museum professionals. Presenters must follow guidelines for size, format, and scheduling. There are no “walk-in” poster presentations. Poster presentations cannot advertise goods or services.

All poster session presentations are to be produced with clarity using good museum design and layout for photographs, graphics, and text. Your name and affiliation must be included. The work must be original by the author(s).

A display area for poster presentations will be provided. There will be a scheduled time for the presenters to stand with their posters to explain their work to conference attendees. All presenters are expected to attend.

Handouts that summarize the poster content should be available. Handouts should be mounted on the panel in an appropriate holder.

Poster Sessions may be presented in the following formats:

PowerPoint Presentations PowerPoint presentations are limited to ten (10) minutes. Presenters are responsible for providing their own LCD projector and laptop computer for their presentation.

Display Panel Presentations All poster panels are to be produced to be mounted on a flat, vertical surface not to exceed 4' x 4'. The panels are to be mounted using double-stick tape, Velcro, or push pins.
