These are questions frequently answered for our potential conference poster presenters, and we hope the answers will support your decision to present at our conference.  If you have additional questions or need any clarification please contact your conference speaker coordinator by email at posters@FAHQ.org.

If you have never presented a poster before and would like some guidance:

Contact ProfessionalDevelopment@FAHQ.org and a member of that team will work with you to create your abstract and decide on what you will include in your poster.

1. Will I receive a presenter fee? To keep conference costs down for our members, FAHQ does not routinely offer presenter fees.  You will receive a 50% conference registration discount if you want to register to attend the conference and obtain the continuing education credit.  If more than one member of your team attends to present the poster , the conference registration discount is ONLY available to the primary presenter.
2. Do I need to be a FAHQ member to be accepted as a poster presenter? While we always encourage membership, you do not have to be a member to present a poster at the conference.
3. Will I be interacting with attendees directly? Yes, our poster presenters are asked to be available at their poster during posted poster viewing times to respond to questions from attendees. The exact times for poster viewing will be provided with final confirmation of your acceptance as a poster presenter, with the plan to have viewing during Wednesday/Friday continental breakfast and scheduled breaks.  In 2025 a designated hour was set aside on Wednesday for a “Poster Walkaround” and the planning team will once again include, with the specific time determined when the speaker schedule finalized.
4. What is the best format for my poster? Posters should be no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet. Display boards will be provided, so posters do not need to be mounted.  We will have regular push pins available for set-up.  Let us know early if you have any additional needs.
5. When will I set up my poster? Set up will be Tuesday evening after conference sessions end. The exact time and location will be provided with final confirmation of your acceptance as a poster presenter.
6. Should I share any printed information with attendees? It is up to you, but poster presenters often share a single page abstract or summary information regarding the poster content.  You would be responsible for printing and providing to attendees at your poster.  You may contact posters@FAHQ.org one week prior to the conference for a final registration count of registrants.
7. What are my responsibilities as a poster presenter? Briefly, this is what you need to do to be a FAHQ conference poster presenter (Note: timelines provided following this section):
