Poster Sessions Sample Files

Provided below are several PowerPoint templates you may find helpful as a starting point. We have included files of the most common sizes, but you may need to adjust the dimensions and the number of columns to fit your content and space requirements. In the templates we provide, logo resolution has been intentionally reduced to keep the files sizes smaller. Please have us swap out the logo with a high-quality, high-resolution version when you bring your poster in for printing.
