Infographic Size:

Each infographic must be contained within the 46 x 46 inch (117 cm x 117 cm) space provided. Two infographics will be displayed on each side of a single board (four infographics per board). The infographic must not exceed the size limit. Please be considerate of the person with whom you are sharing a display space. If your infographic exceeds the size limits, ESA reserves the right to remove or fold your infographic to accommodate space for others.

Set Up:

Your infographic must be placed in the assigned numbered space in the Exhibit Hall on the morning your infographic is scheduled (see "Infographic Presentation Times" for additional information). Bring your own Velcro strips or push pins to secure your display to the infographic board. The infographic board is covered with felt cloth and the frame is aluminum. Please do not attach anything to the metal frame.

Infographic Presentation Times:

Because the Exhibit Hall becomes quite congested during presentation hours, presenters of infographics with odd and even numbers are assigned specific times to be present at their infographics. Presenters are expected to be available at their displays during the "Authors Present" time slot for questions and discussion.

Speaker Toolkit:

Participating in and enjoying ESA's Annual Meetings becomes even more enjoyable when shared with friends and colleagues. Let them know you will be there and encourage them to come too. Learn more about ways you can let others know about your symposium, talk, or poster.

Photography & Social Media:

Be clear with attendees about whether you grant permission for your infographic to be photographed or shared on social media. Download these images and insert them in the corner of your slides or poster. (To download, right-click your chosen image and select “Save Picture As…” or "Save Image As..." to save it to your computer.)
