The Poster Session has become an integral and extremely important part of of the Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference (IHC). The Poster Session at the 64th IHC will take place on Tuesday evening, March 2, 2010, from 5:45-7:45 p.m. For posters, we will be using freestanding cork display boards, approximately 4 ft x 8 ft, and will provide pushpins to mount poster materials. Each poster presenter will have one side of the 4 ft x 8 ft display board in which to display their poster materials. The posters will be set up around the perimeter of the foyer of the Oglethorpe Ballroom in the Hilton Savannah DeSoto; the posters will get excellent visibility. Poster presenters can begin setting up their displays on Monday afternoon, March 1, 2010. Posters should be disassembled by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

Beginning at approximately 4:45 pm on Tuesday afternoon, March 2, 2010, there will be a "1-minute Poster Preview" period where all of the poster presenters will have the opportunity to provide a 1-minute preview of the content of their poster. We will identify an individual to orchestrate the 1-minute poster previews to ensure this is accomplished in a timely manner.

• The poster preview presentation guidelines, which includes directions for uploading your presentation to our ftp site prior to the conference, will be emailed to each poster participant.
• If at all possible, we need to have your presentations by COB Wednesday, February 24, 2010.
• Our goal is to preload them on redundant systems which will allow us to manage an extremely tight time schedule and hopefully reduce technical difficulties.
• Mr. Ken Barnett at Kenneth.Barnett@noaa.gov or 301-427-2002 is our point of contact for questions on AV and uploading directions.
