Required Poster Dimensions

Poster Tips and Content
Poster Tips
- Create your poster using an app of your choice. Common software/apps that work well for poster development include PowerPoint, Canva, and Google Presentation.
- Choose fonts that are easy to read and make sure text is large. Use of san serif fonts is preferred for content.
- Use tables, graphs, and images to increase appeal. Avoid too many words.
Poster Content: Your poster must have the same sections as your abstract.
- Project title and all authors
- Backround
- Objectives
- Methods
- Findings/outcomes/results (Note: use the header that best fits your project)
- Conclutions and implications
- References, if applicable
- Acknowledgements, including funding, if applicable
Naming and Uploading Your Poster
- Save your poster as a PDF. Use this naming convention: "poster number_last name of 1st author."
- Examples:
- Q-15_Garcia
- C-02_Johnson
- You will receive your poster number after you are notified of acceptance.
- Once you receive your poster number and finish your digital poster, you will upload it to our portal accessible here.
Poster Printing Recommendations
- Check with your faculty advisor about where to check your poster.
- On-campus printing options include the PCL and Document Solutions.
Poster Frame
- Poster frames at UT are metal bars with no backing.
- Posters will be binder clipped to the frame; therefore, having the correct height ensures your poster can be clipped to the bars at the top and bottom.
- Most posters will be hung back-to-back in the frames meaning your poster will be clipped with another poster on the other side. Following poster dimension guidelines is essential. View an image of the poster frame here.
- Please email us to request more info and images of these frames.
