Posters
What is a Poster? A poster presentation is a graphic display of topics of interest to forest health practitioners incorporating text, figures, and/or tables. Space available for each display is limited to 4 feet by 4 feet. Presenters are asked to be available at their posters during the poster session to discuss their presentations with meeting attendees.
How to submit a poster: Please submit a title of your poster on the registration form for the conference.
Poster Setup: Suggested times for putting up posters are Tuesday after 5 pm or Wednesday before the field trip. Please contact Leanne Egeland, or inquire at the registration table for appropriate places to display your poster.
It is the responsibility of the poster presenter to put up their poster prior to the poster session on Wednesday evening and take down their poster Wednesday evening after the poster session. If you are not going to be attending the conference or need to leave the poster session early, please find a responsible person to care for your poster.
