Poster Guidelines

Each poster session is two hours in length. Authors should be available during that time to answer questions, expand on the material and take part in discussions. Authors must stand at their poster during the poster hours listed. No shows will not be permitted to submit a poster for the annual meeting in 2012. If your poster has been accepted and your cannot attend, it is your responsibility to notify SIM of the cancellation prior to the opening of the annual meeting. The following guidelines have been adopted.

  1. Poster size is 4' x 4'. There will be two posters per side of the 4' x 8' board. Larger posters may not overlap others. Failure to extend courtesy to other presenters may result in removal of a poster.
