General Abstract Guidelines
Workshop Presentations: (45 minutes in length), presenters will have the opportunity to share their work with colleagues in some depth. The workshop format is intended to be interactive, with and/or small group discussion in addition to some lecture. (Limited to three presenters.)
Poster Display: (Limited to four presenters) Posters feature the work of researchers or other effective work in the field of family therapy. For example, (1) quantitative or qualitative research involving couples or families; (2) interventions with families or couples in larger systems; (3) family therapy training programs, supervision, or initiatives; or (4) larger system interventions. At the Congress, a poster number will be assigned and placed on each poster display in order to help attendees identify each display from a list of all posters. At an assigned time, presenters will stand by their poster so they can discuss their topic with interested Congress attendees. We recommend that presenters have a 2-page handout to provide.
Poster size and dimensions: Posters should be approximately 92 cm (36 in) wide x 122 cm (48 in) high. Posters should be no smaller than 70 cm (28 in) x 70 cm (28 in) and no larger than 92 cm (36 in) wide by 122 cm (48 in) high.
Submission Proposals must be submitted using the online form.
When you arrive at the Congress, please refer to the Congress Program Guide for the poster board number assigned to you. There will be a location reserved for you to display your poster labeled with this number.
Audio Visual Equipment: Requirements should be described for showing PowerPoint presentations or video with sound. Presenters are expected to bring a laptop computer to use audio visual equipment.
Contact Information: Needed for each person who plans to present the presentation. If there is more than one presenter, the person listed first will be considered the main presenter.
Co-Presenters: If there is more than one presenter, the person listed first will be considered the main presenter, and that person will receive the acknowledgement and will be responsible for forwarding the acknowledgements and other communications to all co-authors.
