CORN UTILIZATION & TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE
GUIDELINES FOR POSTERS

The summary must adhere to the following requirements: One-inch margins on each of the four sides. All materials must be typed, single spaced using 12-point font with Times New Roman font. Any tabular material must be incorporated into the text (it should have clear, complete titles and column headings). Using Arabic numerals in parentheses, literature citation shall be cited in numerical order set on the next line, as they appear in the text.

Center the TITLE (all caps) at the top of the page. Allow two blank lines above the TITLE and the author’s name(s). Use an asterisk to identify the author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Include the phone number of the primary author. Please submit your poster abstract by e-mail in a Microsoft Word document to nathan.danielson@gmail.com no later than MARCH 31, 2008. Applicants will be notified of the decision of the Poster Committee no later than APRIL 15, 2008.

Each poster will be placed on one side of a 4’ x 8’ board. Additional space, easels, chairs and tables will be furnished upon request (please make the request at least four weeks prior to the conference). There will be a limited number of boards with adjacent 120 volt outlets. Those presenters who wish to use a computer are strongly encouraged to have a laptop with adequate battery power in case electrical outlets are limited. Poster positions will be assigned by the Committee.

Special requirements, e.g., water and 240 volt outlets, must be coordinated directly with hotel personnel and may result in a location other than the immediate conference area and a cost to the presenter. All special arrangements must meet all safety requirements of the hotel and the conference organizers.

Industrial organizations are encouraged to participate as poster presenters. Displays of new products, technologies and processes are welcomed.

Handouts, such as copies of the one-page summary and business cards, are at the discretion of the presenter.

Posters will be set up between 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. on Monday, June 2, 2008, and left up through 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Posters should be attended during conference breaks. Between 5:30 - 9 p.m. on Monday, and between noon - 2 p.m. and 5 - 7 p.m. on Tuesday, a poster presenter must be available to answer questions on the presented materials.
