POSTER PREPARATION

An easel and a poster display board (of size: 36" x 48") will be provided to hold each poster. There will also be small tables available with power supplies. You may use one large poster page or smaller pages arranged as desired, though we highly recommend the former to save setup time. It is recommended that you prepare the posters with sufficiently large fonts and figures so that they can be comfortably read at a distance. We encourage the presenters to bring their own laptops to show the video footages or live demo runs. We need to know if you are only planning on doing a poster presentation and/or a live demo, so we can allocate the space accordingly. If you need any special equipment support (such as unusual power supply), please contact us right away.

Kinko's is at WALKING DISTANCE from Sitterson Hall.

There are a few options available:

• High-quality Matte Stock - this gives the best results
• Indoor Vinyl with Glossy Finish - the only option for glossy look
• Outdoor Vinyl with Matte Finish - not as good looking as glossy finish
• Regular Paper - a very cheap option for B/W (with blue prints possible)
  

We have negotiated the following heavily DISCOUNTED PRICES for the 2006 EDGE Workshop authors/presenters:

Color Printing:

B/W Printing (with Blue Ink possible): $0.75 per square foot on oversized papers (any size up to 36" x 144" or up to 3' x 12')

We recommend either 3'x4' (or 4'x3') or 2'x3' (or 3'x2'). (The larger size poster of 3'x5' will have 1 extra foot hanging on the bottom, when pinned to our display board. B/W on matte or vinyl stock costs the same as the COLOR on these stocks. You can place your order online by uploading your file (pdf, ppt, doc, etc) at: https://docstore.kinkos.com/. Select the paper size and set type to be "other". Please specify the exact price for your chosen poster size as listed above. Also, you need to specify **YOUR NAME** to receive the discount. Although Kinko's can probably have a color poster printed in 24 (not mounted) - 48 (mounted) hours, please plan for 72 hours turnaround time. If you have any more question, please call the store directly at the phone number given above. The senior customer consultant is *CRYSTAL*, if you have any special request.

The workshop organizers are NOT responsible for either the printing costs or any unexpected problems in poster printing. We will be happy to pick up all the posters the night before. If you wish us to help doing so, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance when you place the order with Kinko's. But, you must pay for the poster printing in advance, in order for us to pick up your posters for you.

GENERAL TIPS

• The main points of the poster should be easily readable from about three meters away.
• The poster may also have more dense text, suitable for viewers who come for a closer look, standing perhaps one meter away.
• Consider also that the material on the poster should be useful for you to illustrate key points when discussing your work individually with attendees during your session.
• Don't forget to include your name, affiliation, and contact information on the poster.
• At the poster session, you should have your business card or a leaflet (e.g. 1-page color handout) ready to give to interested people.
