This year all posters will remain on display from Tuesday 21st March to Thursday 23rd March, and will be available for viewing at all times. Posters will be located in Cartagena de Indias Meeting Room, Mezzanine, and the Guacayamo Mezzanine.
There will be three scheduled “Meet the Authors” events, with one event held each day from Tuesday 21st March to Thursday 23rd March. Each event will vary by session topic, meaning presenters of posters are encouraged to be present at their posters during those events that include their corresponding session topic. Note that each session topic is included within two "Meet the Authors" events. Students nominated for the Archie Carr Award must be present at their poster during both their corresponding “Meet the Author” events, in order to be considered for the award.

Guidelines for Poster Presenters:
- The maximum area available for each poster will be 90 cm width x 110 cm length (35 inches x 43 inches). There will not be space available to "relocate" an oversized poster. Therefore, posters that are larger than 90 cm wide will be altered (folded or cut) to fit within the allotted area.
- Please use a large font type (between 20 and 24 point, 6 – 8 mm) and use graphics in addition to text to allow participants to understand the message of the poster.
- The official language of the symposium is English, so all posters must be in English. This year, we will have a large Spanish-speaking community, so if you want to increase the accessibility and reach of your study, we suggest that you include a QR code on the poster that allows the audience to access a digital version of your poster in Spanish. See here for how to create a QR code for a file download.
- Posters must be attached to the panels with double-sided adhesive tape. Tacks or nails cannot be used as they will damage the panels, and no writing or markings on the panels.
- All posters must be set-up between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm on Monday 20th March.
- All posters must be taken down and removed by 1:00 pm on Friday 24th March.
