Designing a poster need not be drudgery, and you certainly don't have to re-invent the wheel. Below, the conference staff has assembled a "Poster Toolkit" containing a number of resources you might want to look at before designing your poster.

Each poster presenter will be provided with a backboard (4 feet x 8 feet) that is covered with cork material that will support push pins or thumbtacks, and a table fronting the backboard.
