Poster Guidelines

Poster Guidelines

Please share your nanoscale and microscale research outcomes or emerging activities. The poster session is open to the entire UF community (i.e., all undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, staff, and faculty).

Poster Printing Guidelines:

Easels and poster boards will be provided. However, please note that the individual poster boards are 30” x 40”. Presenters with existing posters that can fit this size well are welcome to use them. Presenters with larger posters should consider bringing their own larger poster boards or re-printing their poster to fit on the 30” x 40” boards. The posters can be designed to have either a horizontal or vertical orientation.

This year, we encourage everyone that needs a poster printed to make use of UF’s very affordable on-campus poster-printing service. A 40″ poster should cost about $10.  There are three locations on campus that can print posters

Large Format Plotter $3.00/foot Architecture (118)
Marston Science Library (1st Floor)
Computer Sciences/Engineering (E235)

More information about UF Printing services is available.

General Poster Guidelines:

  • The text on the poster should be large enough to easily read at a viewing distance of 3 feet.
  • Ideally the text should describe the content of the poster in a manner that would be clear to a reader in the author’s absence.
  • Be sure to use scale bars on all images!

Poster setup:

  • Poster boards and easels will be set up by the night before.
  • We encourage you to set you poster on the morning of NanoDay.
  • Poster presenters in Group A should be at their posters at the beginning through the 1st half of the of the poster session.
  • Poster presenters in Group B should be at their posters from the halfway point of the of the poster session till the end.
  • This will allow poster presenter to view many of the other posters too.
