    Do not prepare a poster as if it were a manuscript. Primarily use tables and figures and limit verbage. Details of the work can be provided in discussions with interested parties. Presenters will receive an assigned space number prior to the conference. Push-pins or Velcro buttons may be used to attach a poster but these items must be supplied by presenter - they will not be available on-site.
