Important Presenter Details

Once program chairs have finalized the programs, ACS staff will email official acceptance and scheduling notices.

Whether this is the first time you’re presenting or you are a seasoned professional, ACS has some tips for presenting your research.

For Poster Presenters:

Each horizontal poster board measures 3 feet x 4 feet wide (including frame). All presentations must be confined to the dimensions of the poster board itself.

The poster session does not permit computer display equipment, sound or projection equipment, freestanding or three-dimensional displays, demonstrations/experiments, or tables for handout materials.

For Oral Presenters:

Please prepare slides in 16:9 format.

Make sure to appropriately reference material.

PowerPoint is the preferred presentation software that works best with the A/V equipment. We recommend not generating your presentation in Keynote or other presentation software.
