Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation: Information for Poster Presenters

This page provides information for people who are presenting posters at the Annual Merit Review and Peer Evaluation for the Department of Energy's Hydrogen Program.

Submitting Your Poster

Your poster is due to Rich Bechtold at rlbechtold@alliance-technicalservices.com by April 18^th, 2008. If your file is too large to email, contact Rich at (443) 812-3921 for alternative delivery options. Because of the time required to process your poster, reviewers may not receive your poster prior to the review if it is submitted after the deadline.

Creating Your Poster

Prepare your poster using the supplied PowerPoint presentation template (PowerPoint 2.3 MB). If you want to use other formats, you must still address all the guidelines described in the template. Do not include any information that is copyrighted, proprietary, or confidential in your poster.

We recommend printing your PowerPoint presentation and posting the slides on poster board; this is what most presenters do. Each poster board is 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall, with a felt surface that accepts push pins or Velcro ®.

Poster Timeline: Monday poster session - boards will be available by 12 p.m., Wednesday - poster session boards will be available by 3 p.m. On both days, please have your poster on its designated board by 5 p.m. Refer to the poster directory to determine the location of your board.

Schedule Overview

The time, date, and location of each poster session (PDF 574 KB) will be listed in the poster directory. Also view the hotel floor plan (PDF 549 KB) to find the poster locations. Download Adobe Reader. Minor changes to the poster directory are likely; check the schedule for updates.

At the Review Meeting

We encourage you to put up your poster on the afternoon of your poster session. Push pins will be provided. You must be available during the official time of your poster session to answer questions about your poster. Please remove your poster after the poster session.

After the Review Meeting

The results of the review will be published on the Web site for the Department of Energy's Hydrogen Program in September. You will receive an e-mail informing you when the results are online.
