Presenters
Only one presenter per poster, and presenters must be able to attend the full session.
Judging
Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on how well the poster presenters can speak about their work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (three-minute maximum presentation, however the poster itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per poster.
Branding
We encourage you to use the Guarini School logo on your posters.
Size
Your poster should be no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. If for some reason your poster is larger, then you will be responsible for making sure it hangs on the allotted space.

Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that means no use of computers or other technical equipment.
