POSTER PRESENTER REIMBURSEMENT POLICY

Poster Presenters at the Annual Meetings are responsible for all expenses including registration, hotel, and travel. No reimbursement is provided. Presenters must register for the meeting.

Creating Your Paper Poster Presentation

Presenters are asked to create a traditional paper poster for display in the poster hall on the day of their session. Each presenter will be provided a poster board that is 8’ W x 4’ H (2.43 meters by 1.21 meters). Allow room for a 1-inch border.

Your poster should include: 

  • The most successful posters are graphically rich presentations of your research that highlight and summarize the main points, with the poster presenter filling in the details in person at the session. The least effective poster format is an enlarged copy of your manuscript.
  • Place the title of your paper and authors prominently at the top of the poster.
    • Include the authors’ names and contact information in case the viewer is interested in more information.
  • Include the background of your research followed by results and conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested audience.

Size, fonts, and color:

  • The maximum poster size is 8’ W x 4’ H (2.43 meters by 1.21 meters). Allow room for a 1-inch border.
  • Prepare diagrams or charts legibly in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters.
  • Recommended font sizes:
    • Headers: at least 36-point font (1.2 cm height)
    • Paragraph and figure captions: at least in a 24-point font (0.9 cm height)
    • Body copy: at least 25-point font (1.0 cm height)
  • Choose your colors to provide strong contrast and avoid pairing red and green elements to assist those with red-green color blindness.
  • A serif font (e.g., Times) is often easier for reading main text, and a non-serif font (e.g., Arial or Helvetica) is more legible for headers and figure labels.

Poster Printing

You are responsible for printing your poster and any costs associated. IARS has arranged optional poster printing through Aloha Business Center located onsite at the Hilton Hawaiian Village located in the Diamond Head Tower. All posters must be picked up on your own; they will not be brought to the meeting space.  Printing requests must be submitted by March 10, 2025. Create your poster and save it to your desktop before submitting through the link below. We recommend using PowerPoint but you can use any other software you wish.

e-Posters

E-poster presenters received notifications in December 2024.

E-poster presenters will not have a dedicated presentation or session time, but e-posters will be available for viewing through the mobile app, and on an e-poster viewing monitor in the poster hall. There will be no formal presentation for e-posters. Submission of an e-poster also includes publication of your abstract in the Anesthesia & Analgesia Journal Supplement.

Guidelines for e-Poster Preparation

  • Posters must be submitted in PDF format on the speaker portal only; emailed PDFs will not be accepted. E-Poster presenters will receive an email with a direct link to their portal at the end of January 2025.
  • All posters should have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
  • 5MB is the maximum file size allowed. Suggestions for how to reduce PDF file size can be found here.

Formatting your e-Poster

  • Please create a PDF file with a 16:9 aspect ratio (e.g. 2560 x 1440).
    • Final PDF is limited to 1 Slide/Page only
  • We recommend using PowerPoint (2007 or newer) but you can use any other software you wish.
  • Make sure your text and background have a large contrast (dark lettering on a light background or the reverse).
  • Do not use animated effects, “animations” and videos.
  • Do not add video, audio, external links, or any other multimedia to your PDF.
