2023 SSHD Conference Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Where/when is the conference happening?
- A: October 13-15, 2023 at the Sonesta Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia PA
- Q: When am I scheduled to present my symposium?

- Q: What are the poster dimensions?
- A: The easels on which your poster will be attached are 8’ wide and 4’ high and each easel will contain TWO posters. Therefore, you can prepare either a landscape poster, or a portrait poster, but the width cannot exceed 48” (half of the board width) and the height can be no more than 48”. Please check common printing sizes before preparing your poster. For example, a common landscape size that would fit on our boards is 48” wide and 36” tall. We do recommend some white space to accommodate the spacing for two posters on an easel. We also recommend that you not use every inch of space, and that you avoid large amounts of text. You may wish to include a QR Code on your poster to lead visitors to additional details.
