Preparation of Posters
ACS Section Meeting
Charlottesville, VA
6:00-7:00 p.m.
Thursday April 15, 2004
Titles and abstracts are due April 9. Please use ACS meeting format and submit in Word or rtf format. Please submit electronically to Susan Collins at susanc@virginia.edu
Poster may be set up after 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 15, in the main lobby of the Chemistry Building. If everything is ready to put up, it should take you no more than a few minutes.
Unfortunately, they will ticket behind the building before 5:00.!
The presentation surfaces will be free-standing boards that are 4' wide and 8' tall. This gives you an effective area of about 4'x4'. For typing sheet paper posters regular thumb tacks work, but for thicker posters the large thumb tacks with the plastic grips are required.
Feel free to leave your poster up until after the ACS program.
Keep your text simple, in large letters, and to the point. Complete sentences are not required. People do not like to read a lot of words; they want to know what the main points are.
You should be available for discussion with viewers for the 6:00-7:00 p.m. .
Pizza will be available for a $7.00 fee ($4.00 for High School Students). Soft drinks will be free.
We look forward to seeing you. If you have any questions call Susan Collins at (434) 924-3623 or e-mail her at susanc@virginia.edu.
