X-Ray and Radio Connections
Santa Fe, New Mexico, 3-6 February 2004
Posters will be prominently displayed at the X-Ray and Radio
Connections meeting for the length of the conference. There will
be time during the day set aside to read posters and a daily
cocktail hour following the oral session, with drinks served at
the posters.
Posters should be about 3-4 foot (ISO-A0, JIS-B1, ANSI-E) maximum
and we'll provide the push pins to hang'em.
Poster presenters are encouraged to bring one overhead or submit
one powerpoint slide in advance and will be given one minute
during the discussion session for their topic to advertise their
poster. There also may be other display opportunities for the
power point advertisement slides.

If you have never done this before, you may find a one-minute, one-overhead poster advertisement very useful -- it allows the audience to match your face with your research so they can ask you questions and it clearly identifies your work with the topic being discussed.
The best use of this one minute is to display one interesting graphic (not an unreadable miniature of your poster), describe your research in one sentence and give one intriguing result or one question you are trying to answer. Think of this as bait to attract people to your poster. The worse thing to do is to try and summarize all of your important research speaking as quickly as possible.
You will be dragged off the stage, horse-whipped, and hog tied (all legal in New Mexico) if you try and use this as an opening to give a 5 minute talk.
