The poster session is a very important part of the Bay-Delta Science
Conference. Posters will be displayed in the exhibit hall throughout duration
of the conference, and discussions between the presenters and conference
attendees will be encouraged. Posters may also include project/program
summaries relevant to Bay-Delta issues, as well as reports of work planned
or in progress. Presenters should indicate the theme most pertinent to the
subject of the poster from the list on the abstract submittal form, as the
posters will be arranged by theme. Poster dimensions shall not exceed 8 feet
long x 4 feet wide. 

Poster Clusters
Similar to special oral sessions, a set of posters on a particular topic intended to be displayed together as a group may be submitted as a poster cluster. The posters within a cluster should be well-integrated and complementary as a grouping. Poster cluster organizers are strongly encouraged to prepare an overview poster that synthesizes information from the individual posters to provide larger-scale conclusions or applications of results. Including a diversity of perspectives is encouraged.  
 
Proposals are to be submitted using a separate form available on the conference website and require the cluster title, the name of the cluster chair(s), a paragraph (<300 words) describing the content and focus of the cluster, a statement of relevance of this topic to Bay-Delta management and/or policy, as well as a list of poster titles and authors. Each individual poster proposed in the poster cluster must have submitted its own abstract by the abstract deadline. All required abstracts (for the poster cluster and for individual posters) must be received by the abstract submission deadline (June 5, 2026).
