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 onsite (size must not exceed 44" x 44" [112 cm x 112 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 on 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:
