• Due to space restrictions, there will be no tables available to display additional materials or equipment in front of your poster. This also means that there will be no opportunity to have a laptop as part of your display. In the interest of sustainability, we ask that rather than providing paper handouts to participants, you consider forwarding the files to cmerkley@mtroyal.ca for posting on the conference website.

• Set-up time: The official set up time will be Saturday, May 28, from 12:15 - 1:30 pm. Volunteers will be on hand to assist. If you are interested in setting up earlier, please contact me at cmerkley@mtroyal.ca and we will attempt to arrange it.

Participants will also have an opportunity to vote for their favourite poster, and the winner of the People’s Choice Award will be announced towards the end of the conference.

• You are not required to staff your poster at any other time during the conference.  Your poster will remain on display until take down on Sunday, May 29, from 3:00-3:30 pm.
