Poster Specifications

Poster dimensions are limited to 4’ H x 4’ W (1.2m x 1.2m).  Each poster should include a heading with the title and author(s) using lettering at least 22 mm (1”) high. The abstract should be included as part of the poster presentation.  The legible print should be viewable from 1 meter away. Therefore, letter should be heavy and at least 10 mm (3/8”) high.

We highly recommend that you plan to print your poster ahead of time and bring it with you to the meeting. We do not recommend waiting and trying to find a printing service in Hawaii to use as there could be a risk involved with the availability of services.
