Poster Guidelines

All poster presenters are required to print a physical poster to display in Osaka.  Additionally, you can upload a virtual poster to the online Poster Gallery as early as June 3. Each virtual poster will have a discussion forum for participants to ask questions and provide comments.

If you have been selected for an Oral Presentation, you do not have a poster presentation.  Do not prepare a poster.  One presentation per presenter.
