POSTER DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS (Please read each of the following instructions carefully)

1. To maximize audience viewing, your poster should be displayed throughout the entire conference. Posters may be placed on your assigned board beginning at 3 pm the afternoon of 12 June or 7 am the morning of 13 June. 
   
2. Each poster presentation is limited to display on one 8 x 4 foot, horizontally oriented board. Session designators / numbers will be affixed to each board to guide you in selecting the correct location. Please ensure that you use only the board that corresponds to your abstract number.
   
3. In order to explain your work and discuss audience questions, presenting authors are expected to be in attendance at their poster throughout their specifically designated session (i.e. from on for this poster). Should an interest in viewing a concurrent oral presentation require you to temporarily step away from your poster, a co-author or colleague familiar with your work should be designated to act in your stead.
   
4. The display boards are designed to accept Velcro adhesive tabs, which will be available for your use at the UHMS registration desk. While it is anticipated that the boards will accommodate pushpins, these items will not be specifically stocked at the registration desk.

PDF SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (Again, Read These Instructions Carefully)

Each author MUST provide an electronic copy of their final poster presentation in PDF or PowerPoint slide format for incorporation into the 2013 UHMS Conference Proceedings CD PRIOR TO 10 MAY 2013. Note that this submission requirement is distinct from the abstract text previously submitted. Any PDF / PowerPoint slide not received by this date will be SUBJECT TO A $50 LATE SUBMISSION FEE.

Send this file directly to the Scientific Committees e-mail address at ScientificCommittee@uhms.org and cc to lisa@uhms.org .  As a backup, it is requested that you bring a copy of your finalized poster to the conference on a USB flash drive or CD media. Note that any changes to the PDF / PowerPoint slide submissions after 10 May 2013 will incur a $75 revision fee.

Should you have any difficulty in complying with these instructions, please contact the Scientific Committee via the above e-mail address as soon a possible.
