If your poster won a ribbon during the poster rounds session, leave your poster on the poster board with the ribbon. Posters will remain on display until after the Best in Category session. You will NOT use the physical poster in the Best in Category, we will use the uploaded PDF file in a PowerPoint presentation.

**Note: Poster presenters are responsible for storing their poster tubes, handouts, etc. ABA is not responsible for any lost or stolen poster tubes, handouts, etc. Be sure to label your poster tube clearly. Any tubes left behind after 3:00 PM of your poster presentation date will be discarded.

Presenting Your Poster

You will have 2-5 minutes to speak to the poster round moderator about your poster. The moderator may ask questions about the data and methods of the study. At the end of the session, the moderator will choose a Best in Category and present a ribbon. The ribbon stays on the poster until after the Best in Category session on Friday, April 12.

Poster Design Tips

• Do not include company names or products that are ineligible. This includes companies whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.

• Make sure your fonts are legible.

• Don’t use too much text, graphs, and charts that cannot be read from 3 feet away, or colors that are difficult to see.

• Any personal identifying content in a photo needs to be blacked out (e.g., eyes should have a black box obscuring them)

Best in Category Posters
