All POSTER sessions will be held on the Plaza Level (Level 2) and the Regency Level (Level 3).
Presentation Upload
- All presenters must upload an electronic copy of their poster in PDF or PPT(X) format prior to their presentation at the scheduled MT26 session.
- By participating at MT26 and submitting your presentation, you implicitly agree to publish the content of your presentation on the public Indico site.
- Presentation upload instructions can be found here.
Presentation Guidelines
- Each horizontal poster board side measures 4 ft (height, top to bottom) x 8 ft (width, right to left), (121 cm x 243 cm). Your poster must fit within the confines of a 43″ (109 cm) high x 91″ (231 cm) wide poster board and consist of materials that can be mounted easily with push pins (provided by MT26 onsite). Click here for a poster board image as a reference.
- Each presentation is assigned to one side of the board.
- Invited poster presenters will have two posters board sides available if confirmed by June 24.
- Poster boards will be numbered. The designated board number assigned to your poster presentation is added in brackets after the presentation ID, just in front of the presentation title. Examples are: Mon-Mo-Po1.05-01 [54] or Wed-Af-Po3.25-12 [115]. Click here to view the floor plan with numbered poster boards.
- Your poster must correspond to the title and content of the abstract you submitted.
- Please display the presentation ID prominently in the title area of the poster.
- Plan your poster to be in logical sequence, i.e. introduction, study design and methods, data collected, conclusion.
- Posters should be designed for clear viewing from a distance of beyond 3 feet (~ 1 meter) so they can be viewed by several people simultaneously. To ensure visual effectiveness of your poster, use large lettering and a minimum of text. Use of color can visually enhance your poster.
- Authors may view other posters in the nearby area where posters of similar topic are clustered. Please remember that authors are expected to be available for attendees.
- If you have more than one poster and they are not side by side, please spread your time over all poster presentations and add a note on the poster board your other location(s) and the time you expect to be present.

Papers are not Posters & Paper Submission/Presentation Requirement
- Printed papers of contributions to the transactions (or enlargements of them) do not qualify as posters, and papers presented in this way will not be accepted for publication.
- Presentation at MT26 is required for a paper to be considered for peer review. For posters, the word “presented” means that an author must be present during the entire session and available for discussion. Attendance will be taken by the session moderators; if an author cannot be located, the paper written from this poster will not be considered for publication in the special conference issue of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY (TAS).
