Acceptance of your poster includes one discounted conference registration. When posters are presented by a team, at least one person should be available to present your research in-person.

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

  • We recommend the following resources and tools for designing your poster:

​

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 space where presenters and conference attendees can come together, share their work, and learn from each other.   

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.
