Poster presentations and guidelines

Poster presentations will be over 3 days (July 21-23), just over 20 posters on each day, and will last for about 2 hours, allowing time for attendees to see your poster and discuss your research at a leisurely pace. All posters will be up for the whole conference (at least 3 full days), so that the discussions can continue beyond the poster session. Posters can be at most 48 inches x 48 inches.

The One-minute lightning talk. All poster presenters will also give at least a one-minute talk, timed by an automatic slide advancer. Poster presenters have the option of sending us one or two slides in power-point or PDF, or let us simply use their abstract as the slide; the slides will be shown for exactly 60 seconds total, 30 seconds each by default if two slides. These poster slides will also be on a loop on a big screen through the conference in the poster presentation room. Please send us an email with subject-line "poster slides" to walking2015general@osu.edu We hope to provide poster presenters with a table and electrical outlet; presenters are encouraged to bring a laptop with video or interactive elements, as well as hardware suitable for table-top demonstration.
