INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING POSTERS

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE

AMERICAN COLLEGE OF TOXICOLOGY

The Poster Session has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 6, 2012 from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm.   You will be assigned a number for the exact location of your poster.

Each presentation is assigned a 4’ x 6’ cork board that includes 2.2. square meters (24 square feet) on which to display data.  Please identify your poster with a title and the names of the investigators in 1” (2.5 cm) lettering at the top of the display.  It is very helpful to post a copy of your abstract.

Micrographs, photomicrographs, charts, and graphs should be mounted on firm mounting board.  Matte finish on photographs gives the best visibility.  Matte surface paper may be used, or you can simply dry glossy prints with the emulsion side of the paper facing away from the drying drum surface.

Presenters should provide their own push pins (5/8” long) for attaching posters to the display unit.

The Poster Boards will be available Sunday evening, November 4, 2012.  Posters should be set up by Monday morning to be available for as long as possible to attendees.

You are expected to be present at your poster for discussion and to answer questions during the 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm Poster Session, Tuesday, November 6, 2012.

Please remove your posters at the end of the session (7:00 pm) on Tuesday evening.  ACT is not responsible for removing or storing posters.
