+ guidelines for poster presentations

ISSW poster presentations offer a valuable opportunity to share your work and ideas with the international avalanche community. Poster presentations are unique because they provide a place for personal connection, discussion, and dialogue with beer and a snack in your hands.

POSTER PRESENTATION

The poster sessions at ISSW 2026 are 2 hours long. Make the most of them by creating a poster that attracts attention, make people talk, and help people learn as much as possible without fainting from exhaustion. Below are links to two videos explaining how to make great posters. The videos are a bit long, but we highly recommend watching both. 

Poster area location
The main poster sessions will be conducted in the main presentation ballroom, and we plan on hanging the posters all week down in the lower level.

Poster preparation
Posters can be affixed to the poster board using provided pins.
