The AMIA Conference Poster Session deadline has been extended until
September 15th. Please send in your abstracts - the success of the
session really depends on it. The Poster Session is a great way to share
your research with other AMIA members.

The sessions highlight up-to-date research emphasizing the issues and
concerns encountered within the moving image archive profession. The
broad scope of the sessions is to encourage professionals, students, and
researchers from all types of institutions to share their most recent
findings in an informal setting that aims to encourage discussion and
follow-up. All participants must be in attendance and prepared to give a
ten-minute presentation. The sessions will take place on Thursday,
October 12, 8:30 - 10:00am. In addition, posters only will be displayed
(no presentations) during the vendor exhibits, later that day. 

For those wishing to participate, please send an abstract of
approximately 250 words to either co-chair (e-mail submissions
preferred):

15. Submissions will be peer reviewed by a panel of three. Final
acceptance of posters will be acknowledged mid-September. No additional
media will be allowed, with the exception of laptop computers.

Guidelines for posters
A poster session advertises your research. The aim is to communicate
efficiently and concisely your findings, allowing professional
colleagues and researchers an opportunity to study the information
presented and to discuss it with you one-on-one.
1. Posters should be mounted on 20 x 30 foam core or stiff poster board
(larger posters are permissible, but must be mounted to display on an
easel). There will be no poster materials provided onsite, so please
assemble your poster before coming to the session. Easels will be
provided.
2. Emphasize visual elements (graphs, charts, tables, photos, etc.). The
poster should accentuate your prepared presentation, not take the place
of it.
3. Give your poster a title, and include author (s), affiliation (s),
and abstract of its content. Divide the poster into sections as
appropriate. For example: Title, abstract, methodology, results or data,
conclusion.
4. Lettering should be simple, bold, and easily legible from a distance
of approximately four feet. Avoid using too many different fonts. Keep
the point size between 16 and 48.
5. Feel free to bring handouts that provide a summary of your research
or project.
6. Bring along your business card to hand out to those interested in
following up on your research.
