The Conference will feature poster sessions highlighting up-to-date research emphasizing the issues and concerns encountered within the moving image archive profession. The broad scope of these sessions is to encourage professionals, students, and researchers from all types of institutions to share their most recent findings in an informal setting that aims to encourage discussion and follow-up. All participants must be in attendance and prepared to give a ten-minute presentation. The sessions will take place on Thursday, November 11, 5:15-5:45pm. In addition, posters only will be displayed (no presentations) during the vendor exhibits on Friday, November 12.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is Friday, September 24. Submissions will be peer reviewed by a panel of three. Final acceptance of posters will be acknowledged mid-October.
No additional media will be allowed, with the exception of laptop computers.
Guidelines for posters
A poster session advertises your research. The aim is to communicate efficiently and concisely your findings, allowing professional colleagues and researchers an opportunity to study the information presented and to discuss it with you one-on-one.
1. Posters should be mounted on 20 x 30 foam core or stiff poster board (larger posters are permissible, but must be mounted to display on an easel). There will be no poster materials provided onsite, so please assemble your poster before coming to the session. Easels will be provided.
2. Emphasize visual elements (graphs, charts, tables, photos, etc.). The poster should accentuate your prepared presentation, not take the place of it.
3. Give your poster a title, and include author (s), affiliation (s), and abstract of its content. Divide the poster into sections as appropriate. For example: Title, abstract, methodology, results or data, conclusion.
4. Lettering should be simple, bold, and easily legible from a distance of approximately four feet. Avoid using too many different fonts. Keep the point size between 16 and 48.
5. Feel free to bring handouts that provide a summary of your research or project.
6.
Bring along your business card to hand out to those interested in following up
on your research.
