Thank you for accepting ASCCP’s invitation to participate in the upcoming CME activity, ASCCP’s 2024 Scientific Meeting on Anogenital & HPV-Related Diseases being held at the Hyatt New Orleans on May 2-4, 2024 and online from May 15 - June 30, 2024. This document serves as an agreement between Scientific Meeting posters presenters and ASCCP. Information about the activity and details of the commitment are outlined below.
POSTERBOARD PRESENTATION INFORMATION
- Poster Display Dimensions: 4 feet wide by 8 feet high display
- (44"H x 72"W usable surface)
- Think "quality" when you put your poster together. A poorly and haphazardly put together poster reflects negatively on the authors and the institution they are from.
- The text should be large enough such that it would be readily readable at a distance of 5 feet from the poster. Appropriate text sizes are:
- Title: 85 point
- Authors: 56pt
- Sub-headings: 36pt
- Body text: 24pt
- Captions: 18pt
- Note that sans-serif fonts (e.g., Arial, Helvetica) are easier to read than serif fonts (e.g., Times Roman)
- Organize the material in a sequential columnar (top-to-bottom/left-to-right) format as opposed to a row-wise format (left-to-right/top-to-bottom).
- For Poster discussions, be prepared to interact with any interested attendees.
- NO video standalone equipment, iPads and handouts are ok if present.

TRAVEL POLICY
Travel is not covered for abstract presenters at this meeting. Presenters will not receive an honorarium for speaking at this meeting.
AUDIO & VIDEO CAPTURE
Video and photographs taken at the Scientific Meeting may be used in future ASCCP marketing, promotions, advertising, online meeting education, and social networking campaigns.
INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE
The ASCCP is committed to upholding the highest standards of excellence in an academic community. The ASCCP is enriched by valuing diversity, which encompasses recognizing and supporting the experiences, identities, ideas and perspectives of individuals from all groups of people including those of different age, socioeconomic status, ability/disability, ethnicity, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, culture, or any other identity and experience. To promote these values, the ASCCP is committed to using inclusive language that is sensitive to differences; avoids prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination; and avoids the exclusion of some individuals from being seen as part of a group. The use of inclusive language promotes respect for all people and avoids confusion and the promotion of false ideas. ASCCP publications and presentations should be free from bias, for example, using “chair” or “chairperson” instead of “chairman.” Language should include gender-inclusive descriptions of people when referring to individuals undergoing cervical cancer screening and management (for example, "people who have a cervix" rather than "women"). For further guidance on the use of inclusive language, you can find ASCCP recommended resources HERE.
MEETING CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS
The ASCCP is committed to ensuring that our members act respectfully and with civility during our annual Scientific Meeting, the social events we sponsor, and in the conduct of our professional lives. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of decorum and aspire to be leaders who value fair treatment of others and have high regard for the differences that we each bring to this meeting and to our workplaces, as well as to the world that we share. We will not tolerate acts of bullying, discrimination or harassment of any kind. During our meeting please carefully consider your speech and actions, to protect each other from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and language.
If you are being harassed at this meeting, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have related concerns, please contact any member of the ASCCP staff or Board immediately.
ACCEPTANCE
By accepting to speak at the ASCCP 2024 Scientific Meeting on Anogenital and HPV-Related Diseases, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to follow all expectations outlined in the Scientific Meeting Poster Presenter Agreement above.
