Students and researchers interested in highlighting their GIS-related work will want to submit an abstract for the poster competition. Posters will be on exhibit during the symposium. Abstracts for poster presentations are now being accepted. Please contact Steve Ramroop at Troy University for details.

• The poster size should be no larger than 4 by 6 feet.
• Poster set up time will be Thursday afternoon between 4 pm and 7 pm and Friday before 8:30 am. Posters may be delivered to the conference registration table.
• These product types are acceptable for poster presentations: foam board, poster board, or mat board. A "backboard" is not required. If you do not use foam board, laminating the poster is highly recommended.
• A loop/hook (Velcro type) material will be applied for hanging by conference staff.
• The main constraint of the poster is that it is readable from about 3 feet away. Consider using short lists rather than long paragraphs. Use of larger fonts is recommended.
