Have your poster printed by a large format printing company. (EX. Fedex/Kinko's). AMS does not offer poster printing.

What Will I Present?

The Standard Poster Display is a 4' x 8' (1.2m x 2.4m) double-sided Velcro covered panel. These panels have a landscape orientation. We highly recommend that you make your poster no larger than 4'x6' to allow for more space between presenters. 

You can mount your poster with AMS supplied pushpins. Each poster board will have a card with the presenter's name, poster number and poster title.

Feel free to bring handouts or upload your poster image to Presenter’s Corner to reference during formal poster viewing hours.

Want to use your laptop to enhance your poster? Send us a request before the meeting but please note that we don’t provide electricity in our poster halls. Please use the subject line "AMS 31SLS Poster Presentation" and be sure to include your poster number and presentation date in the email.

Want to point people to even more information about your poster?  Include a QR Code. Information on QR codes, including reader software and code generators, is available online (http://www.mobile-barcodes.com/).

Please note that only poster presentations accepted for the 31st Conference on Severe Local Storms can be displayed. Any posters that are displayed within the the poster hall without prior approval from AMS Meetings staff will be removed and billed an abstract submission fee of $120. AMS staff reserves the right to remove all unapproved posters.

AMS will remove all remaining posters after the listed time and store them within the poster hall. After 10:45 AM on Friday, 25 October, any remaining posters will be recycled. AMS is not responsible for posters left in the hall. Unclaimed posters will not be returned.
