In-Person Guidelines for Poster Authors

  • Posters should stimulate discussion, not give a long presentation. Therefore, keep text to a minimum, emphasize graphics and make sure every item is necessary.
  • Include the title of your presentation. AOAC INTERNATIONAL will not post the abstract titles on display boards.
  • Prepare as many individual poster display pieces as required (four to eight is standard) to outline your work clearly and concisely. For collaborative studies, you may choose to include the purpose of the study, the experimental design, results, conclusions and recommendations. Space your information proportionally.
  • Use large and legible lettering that is easily readable from a distance of 3 feet or more. Text material should be printed from a laser printer with a font size large enough to read from a distance. Simple use of color can be used to add emphasis if needed.
  • Photographs, illustrations and graphics are encouraged, and should be at least 9”x12” to ensure visibility.
  • Optional Materials: If you wish, you may prepare handouts for distribution to interested scientists. Some authors may also wish to provide business cards/contact information for the daylong display times.

Display Board Size for In-Person

In-person poster display boards are 4 feet (1.2 meters) vertically by 8 feet (2.4 meters) horizontally (take off approximately 1.5″ each way to account for border) and are supported by legs extending to the floor. Display materials may be affixed to the boards with push pins or Velcro (provided on-site at the meeting.)

JAOAC Poster Publication

Poster presenters are encouraged to submit full Journal papers along with their posters, for consideration of publication in the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL. These submissions will undergo Journal peer review, and if accepted, the papers will be published in the online Journal and in print. For more information, contact Jennifer Diatz, [email protected], at the AOAC Publications Department. Submissions for the Journal must accompany the poster presentations.

Transporting Poster Materials

If attending in person, please hand-carry your poster materials to the meeting. Do not mail your poster to the meeting site or to AOAC INTERNATIONAL. The presenter is responsible for all poster materials.

If you have questions regarding the poster submission process, please contact Jennifer Diatz at [email protected].
