Poster Presentation Instructions

Your presence, and/or that of a coauthor, during the scheduled poster session is particularly important because this is when conference participants will plan to meet you to discuss your work. The exhibits will be open during this time as well. All posters must be removed immediately following your assigned poster session. It is the responsibility of the poster presenter to remove the poster. Failure to do so could result in damage to or loss of the unclaimed poster. The Teratology Society assumes no responsibility for any poster not removed at the end of the session.

Poster material should be organized within an area that is 4 feet high x 6 feet wide. The top of your poster board should contain the following information, with letters at least 3/4 inches high:

1. Your Poster Number
2. Title
3. Authors
4. Affiliations

A copy of the abstract should be posted towards the upper-left corner and a set of conclusions toward the lower-right corner of your poster. These should be printed in letters about 1/4 inch high. Poster information should be legible from a distance of at least 3 to 4 feet. Material, including line drawings, should be clearly presented and may be computer generated (laser printing is preferred). PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PUSHPINS. Poster sessions and times for setup and removal are indicated in the program.
