Poster Guidelines and Frames
- Following poster dimension guidelines is essential. View an image of the poster frame and guidelines here.
- 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.
Required Poster Dimensions
- Vertical (height): must be 42” (see section on “poster frame” below)
- Horizontal (width): must not exceed 72”, which means it can be shorter (e.g., 48”, 60”)
- Your poster will be binder-clipped to a metal frame. See image here.
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:

- 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 here.
Poster Printing Recommendations
