Handouts

You are strongly encouraged to provide brief handouts for your poster which, at a minimum, include your full contact information, the title and description/abstract of your session, and any information you can provide about where additional materials can be viewed or retrieved (e.g. on the IGeLU web site after the conference, a web address at your institution, from you by snail mail, etc.).

You’re advised to bring 100-150 copies of these, and a generous supply of your business cards for when the handouts run out! You should plan to provide any additional materials on your own.
