The poster session allows attendees to present original research related to one of the conference's sub-themes. The poster sessions will provide an excellent venue for discussions and exchange of scientific information. To promote this interaction, posters should be put up as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, June 25th at 8am, and must be left up for the entire meeting. The posters will be organized by theme and times for authors to accompany their posters will be indicated in the Symposium Schedule. All Symposium attendees presenting posters must also submit a two-page abstract of their presentation. This abstract will be included in the Symposium proceedings to be made available to all Symposium attendees. Abstracts were due March 8, 2007.

POSTER FORMAT:

  1. POSTER AREA: Each Poster will be allocated a 48 in. wide by 48 in. (121.9 cm x 121.9 cm) display area. Pushpins will be provided for mounting.
  2. LETTERING: A 6 to 12-in. high (15.2 to 30.5 cm) strip at the top should contain the title of the paper and the name and affiliation of the authors. The poster should have large legible text and figures easily read from a distance of 1 meter (39.6 in.), and describe the results in a manner that would be clear to a reader in the author's absence. The following lettering guidelines are suggested:
    • Fonts: Ariel (Helvetica), Times (Times New Roman), and Symbol. Avoid script and narrow fonts.
    • Title: At least 84 pt, printed across the top of the poster.
    • Author(s)/Affiliation(s): At least 42 pt.
    • Subheadings: At least 36 pt.
    • Text, Figures, and Tables: At least 24 pt.
  3. CONTENTS AND LAYOUT:
    • A brief abstract should be included.
    • Text and graphical elements should be laid out in vertical columns in a clear and logical sequence.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTANCE:
In order for your poster to be accepted, your poster must feature scientific content that is relevant to the conference themes. The lead presenter of the poster must be registered for the conference no later than March 8, 2007, and conference fees must be paid in full at that time. The Conference reserves the right to dismiss any inappropriate submissions due to relevance, subject matter, or submissions without paid registrations.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS:
The following posters have been submitted for presentation at the International Pollination Symposium. The abstracts are currently under review; authors will be notified in late March regarding acceptance and/or recommendations, as appropriate.
