POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Poster presentation spaces are still available. Learn more. The poster session for the conference will take place on Monday evening, May 16, during an informal reception. A poster session consists of presentations by individuals who are stationed at a booth space similar to a typical exhibit booth. Each space contains a draped table and a 4- by 8-foot posterboard on which an abstract, key points, conclusions, charts, and diagrams are posted. If you believe you have technical materials suitable for a poster presentation (no commercial materials accepted), please email an abstract (250 words or less) to the Forest Products Society at conferences@forestprd.org or phone 608-231-1361, ext. 208. Poster presentations will be accepted based upon a review of their suitability to the objectives of the conference and on the availability of space.
