General Information for Poster Presenters

The Plutonium Futures – The Science 2018 Conference will include two poster sessions designed to highlight ongoing work in the conference thrust areas.

Each poster will be assigned a space number and assigned to a poster session.  This information will be published in the final conference program. Presenters are expected to man their individual displays during their assigned session to be available for questions and informal discussion of the poster content.

Poster Session 1 will take place Monday, September 10 from 12:30 pm  to 2:30 pm. During this time a lunch is provided for all conference attendees; the line will open 30 minutes prior to general attendee entrance so that poster presenters are able to eat before the other attendees arrive.

Poster Session 2 will take place Tuesday, September 11 from 12:30 pm  to 2:30 pm. During this time a lunch is provided for all conference attendees; the line will open 30 minutes prior to general attendee entrance so that poster presenters are able to eat before the other attendees arrive.

Poster session presenters are required to setup their posters on Monday, September 10 so that posters will be available for display on both days. The room will be available for set up September 10 from 7:00 am to 11:00 am.  It is expected that all posters will be up for the duration of both sessions.  The room will be open to conference participants for un-manned viewing from 8:00 am -7:00 pm on Monday and Tuesday.  Again, presenters are only expected to man their individual displays during their assigned session.

The room will be available to tear down posters on Tuesday, September 11 from 7:00 pm -8:00 pm.  Any posters left after that time will be disposed of.
