Guidelines for Preparing Clinical Posters

Please follow these guidelines carefully to have your poster submission considered for presentation at the 2024 EastWest Eye Conference.

Each case will be presented on one 4’ by 8’ horizontal corkboard. The presenter will be responsible for setting up the poster by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Please bring enough tacks to hang your poster. Posters can either be individual panels mounted on heavy poster board or large roll-up heavy poster paper (laminated is acceptable). Posters consisting of unmounted 8.5”x 11” separate papers are not allowed.

The title, name of presenter(s), and affiliated institution(s) should be at the top of the poster. Text, results of testing, figures, graphs, photographs, fluorescein angiography, visual fields, amsler grids, lab and radiology reports, etc, and discussion/literature review should all be displayed in a logical and self-explanatory manner. A place for comments or handouts can also be incorporated in the poster’s design. Bulleted lists are easier for the reader to navigate than lengthy paragraphs.

NOTE: A residency director, faculty member, or previous poster presenter is a valuable resource in preparing an educational poster.

Posters will be on display from 4:00 p.m. Thursday October 24, 2024, until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 2024. The presenter must be available to discuss the poster Friday October 25, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The authors of the top 10 posters will give a brief synopsis of their poster during a one hour lecture at 3p.m. on Friday October 25. 

Posters must be removed from the convention center by 4:00 p.m. on Friday October 25, 2024.
