Submission Guidelines and Format Poster Session Submission
|
|
Poster Submission Deadline is October
31
|
|
Submission Guidelines and Format:
|
- To better facilitate the hanging of posters, all posters must be 24 x 36 inches. The poster can be either portrait or landscape. 24 x 36 inch foam board will be provided for submitters to mount their posters.
- Participants may submit up to two posters as an individual and an additional poster
as part of a team.
- There is no additional charge for submitting a poster. The Poster Committee will
make every attempt to accommodate as many posters as possible; however, we reserve
the right to limit the number of posters displayed as the available space is filled.
- To submit a poster or map, follow the link below and simply specify a category,
supply a title, and provide a short description. A picture is worth a thousand words,
so keep your title succinct!
- Important note: all entries should contain minimum cartographic elements used for
presentation of spatial data as appropriate. These may include but are not limited
to: north arrow, legend, scale bar, units of measure, map projection etc.
- Provisions for display of posters will include a poster board hung from the wall or displayed on an easel. A 24” x 36” mounting board will be provided
and may be hung in portrait or landscape orientation. Velcro and a location to mount your poster will be provided on site.
- Posters will need to be affixed directly to the poster board by the submitters NO
LATER THAN THE END OF THE FIRST DAY of the conference.
|
|
Posters are attached to the poster board by means of self adhesive Velcro (this
method helps to minimize damage on to your poster and guarantees it would not fall
off from the wall during the show) this material will be available the first day
to all participants to attach posters to the mounting board. Please construct your
posters with this in mind.
|
|
Poster participants are also encouraged to bring copies of supplemental materials
such as handouts where appropriate for Workshop participants to take. However be
aware that limited space is available for handouts and additional display materials
and no display material will be provided for this.
|
|
Please note that while October 31, 2011 is the final deadline for submittal,
earlier submissions are encouraged so they may be published in the
Workshop program. Submissions received by August 31, 2011 may be listed on
a separate insert.
|
Poster presenters are responsible for retrieving their posters.
Dismantling will begin on the last day of the conference at 2:30 p.m. (SHRUG is
not responsible for anything left in the poster session area once it has closed).
|
