The Adhesion Society is pleased that Avery Dennison sponsored the Best Poster Award in conjunction with the Society’s Annual Meeting. A $500 cash prize is awarded to each of the presenters of the winning posters. 

In the past few years, the Society has attempted to attract even more quality posters by instituting a Best Poster Award. This award is intended to reward the presenters for the extra effort it takes to prepare a top caliber presentation. Through this mechanism, we hope to encourage an even higher caliber of presentation.

The criteria for the Best Poster Award are:

• Clarity of submitted abstract
• Importance of the work
• Novelty of the work
• Level of completion of the work
• Ability of the presenter to explain the work

POSTER SESSION GUIDELINES

Poster size:  42in x 48in
All posters must be mounted one hour before the scheduled session start. Poster numbers supplied by AS will be in the upper corner of each poster board, and this number corresponds with the number assigned to each poster in the technical program. Pushpins will be available at the poster session. Authors must remain with their posters for the duration of their scheduled session as indicated in the technical program. All posters must remain up until the session ends and then must be removed within one hour after conclusion of the session. The Adhesion Society cannot assume responsibility for materials beyond these time limits.
