How early do I need to put my poster up?
On the day of the poster session, please drop off your poster at the plaza just outside of the Mailman Center between 9am-1pm. An attendant will be on hand to check-in your poster and will also take care of getting your poster tacked up for display. Slots are pre-assigned to each poster so that the session can proceed in an organized manner. You do not need to hang up the poster yourself, however please be sure to roll up your poster before handing it to the attendant. This will ensure that it's well-protected. Also, remember to return to present your poster during the scheduled poster session from 3:00pm-5:00pm. You can retrieve your poster after the poster session has ended.
