Electronic Poster Presentation Guidelines

TOMA's 70th MidWinter Conference will feature a poster competition which will be submitted electronically as a .pdf file. There will be no paper/printed posters on site at the conference. 

Poster Format and Guidelines:

All Posters (including Original Research and Case Report) must be submitted as a PowerPoint slide presentation converted to a PDF.

  • Poster headers should include the title of the presentation, authors and their institutional affiliation.
  • File size must be 15 MB or less.
  • No animations or video should be embedded, please utilize hyperlinks or QR codes.
  • All illustrations should be made beforehand. Bear in mind that your graphics may be viewed or read from distances of 3 feet or more on screen. Charts, drawings and illustrations might well be similar to those you will use in making your slides; preferably simple and more heavily drawn.
  • Simple use of color can add effective emphasis. 
  • Keep illustrative material simple.
  • Abstracts will be reviewed and judged prior to the conference and winners will be announced during the TOMA Business Meeting/Luncheon at the MidWinter Conference on Saturday, February 28.
