Create and print your poster
The most successful posters are graphically rich presentations of your research that highlight and summarize the main points, with the poster presenter filling in the details in person at the session and with a preview video to complement your published poster PDF (see below). The least effective poster format is an enlarged copy of your manuscript.
Your poster should include:
Size, fonts, and color
Print a high-resolution copy of your poster to present on site (size must not exceed 100 cm x 100 cm).
Create and submit your poster PDF
Poster presentations can be created in a number of software applications but must be exported to PDF format to submit for publication in the conference proceedings in the SPIE Digital Library. The PDF file size must be less than 100 MB. Avoid uploading multiple versions of your poster PDF. When you finish creating your PDF, check the following:
Submit your poster PDF
Your poster PDF must be received by the deadline, approximately three weeks before the meeting. After the submission system opens for presentations and manuscripts, using any web browser, visit spie.org/myaccount and sign into your account then take the following steps:
NOTE: The contact author or speaker must be registered before uploading. Only the contact author can submit the poster PDF.
