Abstract and Poster Presentation Guidelines

1. Poster Proposals and all accompanying materials must be electronically submitted no later than July 10, 2009. Please call the Education Department at 212.532.4792 if you wish to submit an Abstract for review after this date.
2. We consider the Poster Presentations to be an educational activity, and therefore must avoid commercialism and be free of bias. All sources of support must be acknowledged in the Abstract.
3. Generic names should be used versus brand names when possible. Also, the use of words such as novel, unique, robust, and excellent is thought to be promotional, and must be substantiated by proper references or p-values. When possible, use pharmacologic agent, medication, therapy, or a similar term, instead of drug.
4. Only Encore presentations from other conferences occurring after September 2008 will be accepted unless new data is being presented.
5. Poster Proposals will be reviewed and selected by members of the Education Advisory Committee.
6. The Academy reserves the right to edit your Abstract for publication, and will send a copy for your approval following the scientific review. Your approval must be received by August 1, 2009 for your Abstract to appear in the Program Book.
7. One of the authors of the Poster must be present during the specified hours of the Poster Session(s). Please indicate on this form which author will be presenting and attending.
8. Presenters are responsible for all personal expenses (travel, hotel, etc.). Presenters must be registered for the Meeting on the day of the Poster Session, and are responsible for the associated conference fees.
9. Posters must fit a 4’ x 8’ poster board. Poster Presentations are to be free of commercial bias and avoid proprietary references, including the use of logos.
10. Please bring sufficient 8½ x 11 inch copies of your poster (300+) for the conference attendees.
