48th Sanibel Symposium

Poster presentation slots are assigned based upon dates of registration and payment of registration fees. Please prepare an abstract, one per participant due to space and time, as instructed below and send to the Sanibel Office prior to November 30, 2007. You may request a poster slot after that date, but in that case plan to bring copies of your abstract to make available just prior to your session.

The poster sessions at the Sanibel Symposium are an essential part of the meeting, as they offer an opportunity for exchange of forefront ideas in the field. The following instructions describe the general framework of the poster sessions:

Each poster contribution consists of:

• an abstract will be available on the web
• a 2-minute advertisement before the entire Symposium audience to introduce the poster,
• a bulletin-board presentation totaling 60 minutes directed at a smaller group of interested people. In addition, a paper may be submitted to the proceedings.

The advertisements will be presented by a combination of:

• Overhead projector viewgraphs - please use no more than two (2) viewgraphs. The viewgraphs should be of such a quality (a minimum of 24 pts. and no more than five (5) lines is suggested) so they may be seen by the people in the back of the room, about 20 meters away.
• A brief (two (2) minutes) talk in English giving additional details. A yellow light will indicate that there is one (1) minute left and a red light will indicate the two (2) minutes are over.

After all advertisements are over, the contributors will move to their individual stations.  BULLETIN BOARDS are nearly 4 feet wide and 4 feet high, for the bulletin-board presentations.  Bulletin board presentations may be posted the morning of your presentation and should be removed by the next morning.
