Tips for Poster Presenters

Text and illustrations must be readable from distances of at least 1 meter. Use lightweight materials only; heavy articles are difficult to secure.
Disclosures must never include the use of a trade name or a product-group message and must be listed once at the bottom of the poster.
Make the title dynamic and conclusive, rather than descriptive.
Avoid beginning sentences with numerals.
Standard abbreviations may be used without definition. Nonstandard abbreviations should be placed in parentheses after the first use of the word or phrase abbreviated.
No identifying information about patients participating in a study or trial should be used.
All abbreviations must be defined before being used as an abbreviation in the text.
Proofread poster abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission. No corrections will be allowed or made once the poster abstract has been submitted.
QR codes are permitted.
