SIG Poster Guidelines
SIG Poster Formatting
Posters should be formatted as follows:
The title of a poster should be in upper- and lowercase letters. Use lowercase only for conjunctions, prepositions, and articles that are 3 letters or less (in other words, capitalize all words of 4 letters or more). Please include authors in their proper order, followed by their affiliation (please, no departments, centers or other secondary listings). When multiple authors are at the same institution, you may group them under a single affiliation.
Furthermore, please ensure that you:
- • Do not use the footnote style to indicate
- • Do not use all capital letters (unless there’s an acronym)
- • Do not use departments in author affiliations
- • Do not list authors’ degrees
Here are two examples of properly formatted posters:
Development of a Stepped-Care Cognitive-Behavioral Motivational Model for College Students With Alcohol Problems
Horacio Quiroga Anaya and Juan Jose Sanchez-Sosa, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Elena Medina-Mora, National Institute of Psychiatry, and Carlos F. Aparicio Naranjo, University of Guadalajara
Perceptions of Driving After Use of Alcohol and Marijuana in College Students
Sarah L. Pedersen, Andrea M. Lynch, and Denis M. McCarthy, University of Missouri-Columbia
Poster Submissions
The review process is determined by each Special Interest Group. Each SIG chair will select a committee which will review submissions and accept a maximum of 12 posters.
Visit our ABCT Special Interest Groups page for a listing of SIG chairs. Please contact the SIG chair for all SIG rules, and to verify their submission deadlines.
Poster Displays
Each SIG is assigned a group of tables on which to set up their posters.
Easels
ABCT will provide small easels with self-adhesive strips onto which you may mount your posters. You may bring your own easels if you prefer.
For best results when mounting on ABCT-supplied easels, you should bring posters printed or mounted on Foam Core or other lightweight, inflexible backing. Posters on regular paper will tend to curl; posters on heavy cardboard will tend to fall over.
Poster Size
The maximum size of each poster is 18 inches wide by 19 inches tall.
The easels that ABCT provides will only support posters up to this size.
Your table will not accommodate larger poster sizes. Please do not exceed the size limit, even if you bring your own easels.
