• For publishing purposes, the poster upload must be a PDF file at highest resolution possible.
• All Posters should be in LANDSCAPE (horizontal) format  
• The aspect ratio (ratio of width to height) should ideally be set to 16:9. This is now the default aspect ratio in the newer versions of PowerPoint.

• The complete poster is limited to one slide only. That means one single page for your PDF file.

• Minimum font size should not be smaller than 6pt
• Do not use flash animation with your slide
• Details on uploading the ePoster as well as deadlines are coming soon.

Additional Notes:

• The First Author is the Presenting Author for the poster.
• The First Author is expected to register for the Annual Meeting and present the poster at the assigned time period (see below) to discuss the study and answer questions.
• The First Author will also present their work as an ePoster (PDF file) that will be available within the mobile app. They should follow the poster guidelines which will be provided at a later time shown on this website.

  • Young Investigator and Technologist Poster Award Applicants: Thursday, November 18th from 3:30pm – 5:15pm Eastern

  • Odd-numbered ePosters: Saturday, November 20^th from 9:45am – 10:45am Eastern

• Failure to defend one's findings by not attending the poster during the assigned time period is a violation of the AMP Scientific Integrity Policy and may result in forfeiture of future abstract submission privileges.

Regardless of your choice, if this is your situation, please email to inform us of the attendance resolution you have chosen. (AMPEducation@amp.org)
• If the First Author is unable to attend the Annual Meeting to present the poster, every effort should be made to arrange for one of the other authors to present the poster. Both AMP (AMPEducation@amp.org) and the Annual Meeting Program Chair, Dr. Laura Tafe (Laura.J.Tafe@hitchcock.org) must be notified that the poster will be presented by another author and be provided with that author's information..
