Mandatory Requirements to print and present posters

  2. Request a Fermilab Poster report number from Fermilab Technical Publications https://techpubs.fnal.gov/ following the steps in these two drop downs:
    +Submitting a Technical Publication
    +Acknowledgement/Copyright/Disclaimer

  3. Add your poster number to the upper right corner area in the blue and the proper acknowledgement at the bottom left corner of your poster and upload the poster to Fermilab Technical Publications https://techpubs.fnal.gov/
    -Your poster will need to be approved by ORTA/Export Control/CUI before you can present it.

Email the FINAL version of your poster for printing in PDF format to Cindy Arnold [email protected]. Requestors are responsible for securing their own payment method. The cost is $7 per sq/ft so a 36x48 poster would cost $84. Please include a Fermilab project/task code to charge back the poster or arrangements will be made for you to pay the Fermilab cashier. You will receive a receipt for reimbursement to provide to your university/institution. Posters will be printed on light weight fabric. This is the ideal material for those who travel as you can fold it and put it in your luggage, and it does not tear.

Upon submitting your poster to Cindy Arnold, a ticket will be created for you in Service Now. You will receive two email notifications. The first to let you know your poster has been added to the print queue and a second to notify you your poster has been printed and can be picked up from Print Services located in Wilson Hall – ground floor, northeast side by the revolving door leading out to the IERC courtyard.

It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that their poster has been approved by ORTA/Export Control/CUI before it is publicly presented. If you have any questions or would like to check the status of your poster, email [email protected] and include your poster number in the email.
