Use large print (at least 1/2" (1.8 cm) high).

Poster Illustrations

Illustrations must be able to be read from a distance of 3–5 feet (1–2 meters).

Keep illustrative material simple (simple use of color can add emphasis effectively).

Poster Printing

Do not print posters on thick or heavy materials such as poster board or vinyl. The material your poster is printed on must be able to be mounted for several hours with pushpins. High-quality paper or fabric posters will stay in place with pushpins.

Print on matte material if possible (glossy results in glare).

Providing printed copies of your abstract (posted next to your poster or placed on the floor underneath your poster board) is helpful for attendees viewing your poster when you are not standing next to it.
Poster Presentation

The primary author or a co-author MUST register for and attend PESTOLA 2025 to present and validate the published abstract. Register here.

The poster presentation is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th, 2025 from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm, in Salon A-D (1st floor). The presenting author should be at the poster during this time so that attendees can ask questions and meet the author.

If you have posters in more than one topic area, you or a co-author cannot be at all of them, we recommend posting a note on your additional board(s) indicating where they can find you.
