Poster Presentation Guidelines

Gulf South Adult and Career Education Conference

March 6, 2009

Posters should be free standing using a backboard such as a three-sided science fair-type board. One six-foot long table will be provided for each presenter. Additional visuals and other materials may be placed on the table at the presenter’s discretion. A flat-panel board may be used, but it is the presenter’s responsibility to provide an easel to hold up the display. Presenters will be expected to remain with their poster during the duration of the session to discuss the poster with viewers. If electricity is required, please contact Dr. Backes at cbackes@valdosta.edu to make arrangements.

Suggestions for Creating Your Poster

1. Each poster should include the title of the presentation in large letters, the institution where the work was completed, and the presenter(s’) name(s) at the top center of the poster.

2. Materials must be easily read at a distance of 4 feet (1.5 m). A point size of 16-18 (5-6 mm) or larger is recommended for body text. Ordinary typewritten copy or carelessly prepared handwritten copy is unacceptable. Type material on a BULLETIN (large size) typewriter or use a normal size typewriter/printer, double space and photographically enlarge to 11" x 14" . You do not want to place more than this size for each poster piece, or it will be difficult to attach to the display boards.

3. An abstract placed in the upper left side of the poster is suggested.

4. At least one of the presenters must be at the assigned space during the designated time to discuss the work presented. Presenters should be capable of responding to questions concerning all aspects of the presentation.

5. Handouts relative to poster presentations are popular and encouraged.
6. Posters should be neat, attractive, and professionally presented. They should be geared toward the theme of effective instructional practices in career and technical education.

Interested individuals should submit a proposal abstract by February 1, 2009 either by Call for Presentation Proposals (word document), e-mail rlmartinez@valdosta.edu, or by U.S. mail to Dr. Reynaldo Martinez, Department of Adult & Career Education, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA 31698-0800.
