MSC 2012 Call for Posters
The Measurement Science Conference Board and Conference committee put a high value on the technical and educational content of the technical program. For the first time MSC is offering an additional venue for technical presentations; Poster Presentations. Exposure of the content and author(s) are extended due to the fact that posters are on exhibit in the exhibit hall during the entire conference. During the conference special times will be set aside for authors to be in the exhibit hall to discuss the subject of their posters. As has been our history of presenting “Best Paper” awards this year there will also be a “Best Poster” award. Topics are the same as for paper presentations with emphasis on this years’ theme, “Measurement Science: Challenges in the Future”. As with papers the posters will be included on the conference proceedings CD. For more information regarding the conference and this years’ theme see www.msc-conf.com. The final poster artwork due by February 3, 2012.
Poster Guidance:
SIZE: Standard poster size is approximately 28 in x 36 in (71cm x 91cm).
LAYOUT FONT, etc.: To help our attendees get the most from your poster here are some suggestions on layouts.
· Titles should be 72 point
· Titles and headings should be no smaller than 24 point, preferably bold face, to ensure readability from a distance of at least 1 meter.
o Avoid fonts that are too fancy, or hard to read at a quick glance, i.e. walk-by.
o Use of photos or other graphics is optional
· Each poster should include your Point of Contact (name, e-mail, etc.)
· Begin the body of your poster approximately four-line spaces below the title.
