The presenter or, in the case of multiple presenters, one of the presenters is stationed at the presentation for a set period of time. Presenters are provided with a 4 × 8 foot space to display their materials. The Clinical Ligand Assay Society regards poster presentations as a particularly effective way to present complex graphic and/or quantitative data.

The criteria for the Best Poster Award are:
  • Clarity of submitted abstract
  • Importance of the work
  • Novelty of the work
  • Level of completion of the work
