​

  • Send a PDF of your poster by Monday, February 23 to Erika Goyer at egoyer@nationalperinatal.org in an email which includes:​

    • the title of your poster​

    • a list of all authors and contributors (we invite you to share your pronouns)

Designing Your Poster:

​

  • Many universities provide guidance and support to their students and faculty. Check with your institution. For reference, see the guidance from UNC-Chapel Hill's Graduate School Academic Presentations and Posters

​

​​

​

Poster Dimensions:

​

  • The preferred format for academic posters in the U.S. is a landscape design with a 4:3 ratio. This typically means a poster that is 48" x 36"

​

  • Another common format is a "widescreen digital landscape." This is a popular format for websites and PowerPoint presentations. It uses a 16:9 ratio. When formatted for printing, a poster using this format might measure 56" x 31.5"

​

  • Our presentation boards accommodate posters up to 72" x 48"

​

  • Posters may be printed on paper or fabric.

​

  • We will provide push pins - but it's a good idea to bring your own too.

​

NOTE: 

If you already have a poster printed in another format, we will do our best to accommodate you.

A NOTE about PRESENTING your POSTER:

Our goal is to create a space where presenters and conference attendees can come together, share their work, and learn from each other.   â€‹

​

​NPA welcomes multiple presentations from your team.

However, in order to provide meaningful opportunities for interacting, we require that each poster has a dedicated presenter.

In other words, while an individual can be an author on multiple presentations,  each poster must have a dedicated registered presenter.  One attendee may not present multiple posters. 

​

If you receive an invitation for a 10-minute podium presentation:

​

  • Accept or decline your invitation by responding to our poster co-chairs Chavis Patterson, PhD pattersonc1@chop.edu and Pamela A. Geller, PhD pg27@drexel.edu by Nov. 15.  Please understand that this is because we have a limited number of spots, and we want to make sure we provide as many people as possible with opportunities to present.

​

  • Confirm your scheduled time on our agenda.

​

  • Send a PDF of your poster by February 23 to Erika Goyer at egoyer@nationalperinatal.org​. This image will be projected on our conference screen and will accompany your 10-minute presentation. In the email to Erika, please include:

    • your name

    • credentials

    • pronouns, if you'd like to share

    • contact information

    • the title of your poster

    • the name of your sponsoring institution or organization (if applicable)    

 

* DEADLINE for having your poster hosted online is Monday, March 2.
