2024 Poster Submissions & Competition

Poster Preparation and Submission:

The ASCIP Research Committee has created an instruction video for preparing a scientific poster.  Please view it here:  How to prepare a scientific poster - ASCIP Research Committee

All posters are assessed for various poster awards presented at or after the conference.

The posters are judged on:

• Background/Problem Statement
• Significance/Impact on the Field
• Design/Procedures
• Evaluation Plan/Data Analysis
• Results/Outcome
• Discussion/Conclusion
• Presentation of Poster/Visual Effectiveness

ASCIP will print and deliver all posters.  The poster can be taken home with the presenter after the conference.

All posters will be mounted on a 48x36 poster board. You will need to submit your poster as a PDF file (created in PowerPoint one single slide using the provided template). We will have your poster printed, shipped, and displayed at the conference for you. You will be able to take your poster home with you at the end of the conference. **Please allow appropriate time for reviewing and proofing your poster, typical errors include incorrectly labeled images or incorrectly placed captions.

Instructions

Poster Format:

1. You may select between the following two different poster formats:
   • Traditional poster: Standard conference poster
   • Better Poster format: Recommended format due to ease of conveying main takeaways of presentation. The #betterposter layout incorporates empirically derived principles from the field of User Experience (UX) Design to better communicate scientific findings. This layout maximizes the amount of information provided to attendees while minimizing interaction cost. The key is ensuring that your poster is visually appealing and eye-catching, identifies evidenced based critical takeaways, and translates findings in a creative meaningful way. Search #betterposter on YouTube for more information.
2. Create your PowerPoint poster using one of the templates. Use the white box in the center of the template, leaving the blue borders displayed.
3. When creating your PowerPoint poster, the preferred font is Verdana at a 16-point font size minimum. Other acceptable font styles are Tahoma, Helvetica, or Trebuchet MS. See more tips below.
4. Full Poster Size in landscape format: 44.5" wide x 25.5" high (including margins). PLEASE add all content INSIDE the blue border.
5. When finished, save/export the file as a PDF and download it to Dropbox.

Tips

• Brevity and clarity are the essence of a good poster. Consider including a QR code with a link to your supplementary data, your published paper, or a more detailed version of your poster. Here is an example of a QR Code generator.
• Relevant images can be added to illustrate where appropriate. Please ensure that any graphics used are high-definition images. It is important to ensure correct placement of images relative to associated text, in order to enable smooth reading of the poster.
• In all cases, patient anonymity must be protected in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Laws.
• Posters must be non-promotional in nature. Presenters should use scientific or generic names in referring to products. Should it be necessary to use a trade name, the appropriate format is generic (trade).  All product names must be in consistent format.
