Poster Mounting

  • Posters mounted before 7:00 AM or after 5:00 PM on their scheduled day will be discarded.
  • Mount your poster in the ENDOExpo hall between 7:00–8:30 AM for maximum attendee viewing time.
  • Follow hall entrance and exit instructions from Security personnel.
  • Poster presenters must leave the hall immediately after mounting their posters.
  • If you do not mount your poster before 9:00 AM, you must wait until the hall officially opens for the day to mount your poster.
  • Pushpins will be provided. Do not use alternative adhesives.
  • You are responsible for your poster carriers, tubes, or mailers. The Society is not responsible for any lost or stolen items on the ENDOExpo floor.

Poster Presentation 

  • The primary author or a co-author must register for and attend ENDO 2023 to present and validate the published abstract.
  • Posters will be available for casual viewing during ENDOExpo hours on the poster’s scheduled presentation day. One hour has been designated for unopposed poster viewing when no other educational sessions are happening. This is the one-hour time that has been provided to you and has been indicated in the meeting mobile app and in the ENDO Program Planner.
  • Additionally, you are encouraged to be present by your poster for an additional hour. App alerts will be sent during this additional time encouraging attendees to visit the poster floor.  Remember to add the additional poster floor viewing hour to your schedule.
  • If you have posters in more than one topic area scheduled on the same day and you or a co-author cannot be at all of them, we recommend posting a note on your additional board(s) indicating where they can find you.

Poster Printing

  • Print on matte material if possible (glossy results in glare).
  • Providing printed copies of your abstract (posted next to your poster or placed on the floor underneath your poster board) is helpful for attendees viewing your poster when you are not standing next to it.
  • There is a FedEx onsite for printing your poster and picking it up when you arrive at McCormick Place. Please give FedEx a 24–48-hour lead time to print the poster.

  • There is no option for an electronic poster upload this year. 

Poster Header 

Include the following information at the top of your poster (use lettering at least 1" (2.5 cm) high):

  • Author information
  • Author conflict of interest disclosures
 Poster Text
  • Use large print (at least 1/2" (1.8 cm) high).
  • Keep text and figure legends concise, but do not omit them. 
  • Including short, legible Introduction and Summary of Conclusions sections on your poster is helpful for attendees.

Poster Illustrations

  • All illustrations must be made beforehand.
  • Illustrations must be able to be read from a distance of 3–5 feet (1–2 meters). 
  • Keep illustrative material simple (simple use of color can add emphasis effectively).
  • Charts, drawings, and illustrations should be more heavily drawn than those prepared for slides.
