All presenters must be registered as full-conference attendees in order to present at SLAS2021. If the primary author is not available during the scheduled presentation time, a co-author may present the poster instead.

Poster Board Guidelines

Poster Board Content

The poster should include the following elements:

Overview: A succinct summary of the purpose, methods and results. Use phrases rather than sentences in a simple outline format.
Introduction: A concise statement of the objective and background of the work.
Methods: Describe the apparatus, chemistry, samples and materials used in detail.
Results: Use graphs, spectra, charts and pictures with a minimum of text to illustrate results.
Conclusions: Concise statement of the findings indicating future research directions.

Poster presentations may not be used as a sales or marketing opportunity. No hardware, books, accessories or saleable items may be displayed at a poster.
