- If a submission is funded by commercial entities, it must be explicitly disclosed in a disclaimer at the beginning of the presentation. Please write a summary of the video presentation and adhere to a 250-word limit for the abstract body.
- Ensure the title distinctly delineates the topic, avoiding abbreviations. Maintain professional consistency by presenting titles in sentence case without bolding, underlining, italicizing, or using all caps or lowercase letters. Video abstract presentations SHOULD include a voice-over but should not feature any background music.

E-Poster Presentation Tips
- Electronic poster (e-poster) presentations are similar to traditional poster presentations but presented on a large computer screen.
- A well-constructed poster is self-explanatory, achieving both coverage and clarity. Your e-poster should consist one slide. Use the tips below as guidelines for formatting and making the most of this presentation. Save your poster to a USB key (thumb) drive and bring it with you on the day of your presentation. Formatting Tips
- Less is more. Be clear and concise with poster design and content. Overcrowding a poster makes it difficult to read. Use fonts that are large enough to read at a distance. Include the title and name(s) of the presenter(s) in a larger, bolder font than the rest of the poster.
- Provide clear labels or headings for each section of your presentation. Remember contrast. Put light-colored fonts on dark backgrounds and dark-colored fonts on light backgrounds so viewers can see your text. Imbed high-quality graphics. Sound is not permitted due to the open area in which posters are presented.
- For single-slide e-posters: Set the page size to 36.5"W and 20.5"H. Use a minimum font size of 32 points (Approved fonts include: Arial, Calibri, Montserrat, and Open Sans.)
