Poster Format & Symposium Set-up Information:

Posters must fit on a 4' x 4', free-standing bulletin board. Thumbtacks and a bulletin board will be provided at the Symposium for each accepted poster. Please arrive with your poster between 2:00 and 3:00 pm on Monday, September 21st. When you arrive at the event, check in with the receptionist to get your poster number. Then, find the bulletin board with your assigned poster number at the top. Presenters are responsible for mounting their own posters and setting up any additional materials prior to the start of the Symposium at 3:00 pm. We ask that posters be left up until the event ends at 7:00pm.

Posters (and other printed materials) by authors affiliated with CU-Boulder should integrate the CU-Boulder logo and should follow the format guidelines provided by CU Boulder Branding. You can download the CU-Boulder logo here: https://www.colorado.edu/brand/downloads

Reasonable requests for tables or extra space to accommodate models, equipment, and other materials should be made at the time of your poster abstract submission in the 'special requests' box on the Poster Abstract Submission Form. All requests are subject to approval and if your request is approved you will be notified.

The 3:00 to 5:00 pm portion of the Symposium ("STEM Education Showcase") will be divided into two poster sections. Section "A" will be 3:15-4:00 pm and Section "B" will be 4:00 - 4:45 pm. Each poster will be assigned to a section and the presenter will be informed of their section at the time of check in. Presenters are asked to stand by their poster during their section time slot to be available to discuss their program/research with attendees. Presenters are invited to stand by their poster during BOTH sections, but are only required to be available during their assigned section of the showcase. Please indicate on the poster submission form if you have a section preference and every effort will be made to accommodate your request.
