PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
Poster presentation guidelines
Student presentations and corresponding poster numbers are located on pages 7-10. The
presentation schedule according to poster number is located on page 1. Students should be
aware of their poster number and session (AM or PM) in advance. When you arrive at the Atrium
in Roger Guindon Hall, immediately locate your poster board with your poster number on it and
use the pushpins available to mount your poster onto the poster board. If you do not know your
poster number on the presentation day, go to the registration desk and a volunteer will help you.
Poster presenters are allowed a total of 10 minutes to present their project and up to 5
minutes for questions from a team of two judges. Students are expected to stand by their
poster until they have been judged. Posters can be displayed and presented in either English or
French. Posters should be no larger than 36" (height) x 48" (length). Posters should include the
title of the study, authors and affiliations, abstract, study background/rationale,
objectives/hypotheses, methods, results and conclusions/inferences. Key references, funding
sources, and acknowledgments should also be included. Posters should be clear, concise, and
presented in legible font. They should also be attractive to the reader and include clearly labelled
figures and tables.
Announcements will be made at 12 minutes to notify judges and presenters to start wrapping up
and at 14 minutes to indicate when judges should be already situated at the next poster.
Morning posters must be taken down by 12 noon so that afternoon posters may be mounted.
Afternoon posters must be taken down by 17h. All unclaimed posters will be discarded at the end
of the day.

Oral presentation guidelines
The oral presentation list and schedule can be found on page 12. Students should be aware of
whether they are to present in the morning or afternoon session. Presenters will be given 15
minutes to describe their project and 10 minutes for questions from the judges and
audience. 1 minute between presentations is allocated for setup. Oral presentations should be
accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. Rule of thumb is 1 minute per slide. Avoid overly
crowded slides. Use wherever possible figures and graphs to present data. PowerPoint slides
should be sent via email to [email protected] by April 8th, 11:59pm EST. The presenter
must also bring a copy of his/her PowerPoint presentation on usb key on the day of the
conference to be uploaded on the auditorium computer. Morning session presenters must have
their presentations uploaded from 8:30-9:00 AM. Afternoon session presenters must have their
presentations uploaded before the end of lunch.
