2005 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

POSTER SESSION GUIDELINES


I. Poster Size

1. The poster papers will be affixed to a 4 ft x 8 ft cork board (provided by ASCE on site), like those used frequently as message boards.

2. Poster papers may be taped or tacked to the board - push pins and/or tape will be available during poster session set up.

3. The boards you will be using are two sided, with each side devoted to one paper. Therefore there will be two separate papers on one board. You are only able to utilize one side of your board.

II. Poster Materials

1. Poster session materials can be one or more of the following:
    a. thin cardboard or regular paper of the text of the actual paper printed in large font
    b. photos and graphics
    c. thin cardboard or regular paper copies of a Power Point Presentation
    d. laminated poster if it can be securely attached to the cork board with push pins and/or tape

2. All the materials shall fit onto a 4 ft x 8 ft cork board. Overlapping papers or posters will not be accepted.

3. No three dimensional items which cannot be attached by means of tape or push pins will be allowed. Due to space restrictions, no tables will be provided. The cork boards are attached to their own stands.

III. Poster Session Hours

1. Setup time will begin at 7 AM the morning of your poster session.

2. Your poster must remain on the board throughout the day and must be removed by 5 PM that evening.

IV. Schedule

1. Setup time is from 7 am to 8 am the morning of your poster session.

2. Your poster should remain on the board throughout the day and must be removed by 8 am that evening.

Please Note: It is recommended that you stand with your poster session as much as possible especially during the breaks to answer any questions and/or present your topic at any time during the day. Please note that neither the ASCE nor the Woodlands Hotel will be responsible for any items lost or stolen during unsupervised times.
