Poster Information

At the 18th BCCE, there will be a themed poster session/symposia Monday afternoon. Monday evening (7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.) is the 18th BCCE Sci-MixPoster session. 50% of the posters are invited from authors whose oral papers are very interesting and deserve special notice as identified by symposium organizers. The other 50% of the posters are contributed. There will be a General Poster Session Tuesday morning.

Posters are physically limited to 4' high by 6' wide, with a maximum text width of 70 inches, to give a 1 inch margin on each side of everyone's poster.The authors usually create the posters in one of two ways. Most people use 8.5inch by 11 inch sheets of paper on which the poster information is printed in large enough type that it may be read from about four feet away. These single sheets are arranged on the poster board to show highlights of the actual oral paper, not a transcription of it. Generally, poster presenters have a page for Title and author(s), Abstract, Background, Method, Results, Conclusions, etc. Some of these sections would be multiple pages, and sometimes photographs of instruments, activities, etc. are included. Most people also mount the printed pages on colored paper, and they bring the mounted pages to the meeting to put them up on the board. The poster session organizers (Mike Sanger and James Rudd) provide the poster number, poster board and tacks. More recently, people have been creating posters in PowerPoint, setting the entire presentation to the size of the poster, and using color plotters to print a large formatted single sheet. This results in one big color poster, which is then rolled up and brought to the meeting in a poster tube.

The 18th BCCE/ISU will NOT make a poster for anyone. If you are giving a poster, you are responsible for making your own poster, for getting it to ISU, for putting it up and for taking it down.

Poster Schedule

The link below takes you to a working Excel file that contains all of the 18th BCCE symposia schedule and the poster session schedule. The file represents what we havae done as of May 18, 2004. It will be up-dated, however, as of this date most sessions and presentations are now in the early stage of making concrete. When you open the Excel file, you will need to use the left and right navigation icons to see each symposium session. The sessions are listed by the organizers. The poster sessions are on the right. Look at the tabs. You will need to GOTO the header and footer section to see the days and times of each symposia session.

All posters sessions are in the Scheman Building. Poster sessions are scheduled for Monday afternoon, Monday evening (Sci-Mix), Tuesday morning andafternoon.
