Photovoltaic Specialists Conference
...
Poster Presenters
Congratulations on being chosen to present a poster at the 35th PVSC! Poster sessions are critical to the success of the conference, contributing to both the breadth and the depth of coverage in photovoltaic technology. Poster papers make it possible for a large number of important developments in the field of photovoltaics to be presented. In addition, the poster sessions allow authors the opportunity to personally interact and network with interested parties, and discuss research results at a level of detail that cannot be approached in formal questions following an oral presentation.

The posters will all be displayed in the KAMEHAMEHA EXHIBIT HALL III. All posters will be displayed from Monday through Thursday. Poster boards will be arranged with letters designating each aisle and numbered poster position on each aisle. Specific locations for your poster will be available on this website in June.

Poster Size
The area available for the poster is limited to a rectangle 48 inch tall by 36 inch wide (122 cm by 91 cm). THE POSTER CHAIR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TRIM ANY POSTERS LARGER THAN THE ALLOCATED SIZE TO THE ALLOCATED SIZE!!! Tables in front of poster boards are PROHIBITED.

Best Poster Award
To encourage excellence in poster paper content and presentation, a Poster Award Program is sponsored by the conference committee. Poster judges will review posters and select one for an award from each of the seven technical areas in the program. The judging criteria will be based on technical content, clarity of presentation and the significance of the work. The primary author of each award winning paper will receive a certificate at the closing ceremony on Friday, June 25th. A personalized plaque will be mailed to the primary author of award winning posters during the month following the conference.
