If you will be presenting a Showcase of Excellence at the upcoming Annual Session, below are the display specifications and other important information. 

Boards: 4' (h) x 8' (w) cork boards - please bring pins and/or thumbtacks
Table: You'll also have a 3' table in front of the standing poster board for handouts and other materials

Use thin/lightweight poster paper or cardboard since heavy materials may be difficult to attach to the display board. Audio/Visual support, internet access and electrical outlets are not provided or available. 

Presenters are responsible for the setup and breakdown of their poster displays.  Poster's will be displayed OUTSIDE of the Exhibit Hall, so we recommend you do not leave your poster case or any other valuables overnight. 

Posters are open for viewing on Thursday, November 4 and Friday, November 5. Poster presenters have been assigned an optional 1-hour manned time (see acceptance emails for details). Posters do not need to be staffed during the conference, but must have contact information for at least one presenter in case an individual has questions.

Ignite Presentations:

If you were selected to present an Ignite Session, you are also required to present your POSTER session. See details above under Showcase of Excellence Presenter section. 

Ignite Presenter Expectations (use as a checklist and set dates on your calendar as reminders)

Ignite sessions are not a time for question and answers.  Please pre-set your ignite presentation for a 10-minute time limit (it should move advance automatically to ensure the timing requirement is met and not exceeded). There will be approx. a 3-minute transition between each presenter.  NEAFCS will provide a projector, screen, podium and microphone in each room.  Laptops will be available for speakers who requested them.
