Presentation Guidelines
All contributed oral presentations will be 12 minutes plus 3 minutes for questions. We recommend preparing your slides in 16:9 widescreen format for optimal display quality. Presentations must be saved as .PPT, .PPTX, or .PDF.
Speakers are required to bring their final presentation on a USB stick and hand it to the AV staff in their session room at least 15 minutes before the session begins. Please note that personal laptops cannot be used.
Poster Presentations
Size and Format
Posters must be in portrait (vertical) orientation with a maximum size of 36" x 48" (914 mm x 1219 mm).
A0 posters will fit within these dimensions.
If you would like to include the NetSci 2026 logo on your poster, the logo files are available here.
Printing and Pickup
For a convenient printing option, we have set up a dedicated PhD Posters ordering link — your poster will be printed and delivered directly to the NetSci venue. Printing costs are the responsibility of the attendee; the cost of a 36" x 48" poster on semi-gloss paper is $56.99.
Standard pricing applies to orders placed before Friday, May 29 at 11:59 PM EST; orders placed after this date and before the final deadline of Sunday, May 31 at 10:00 PM EST will incur a $35 rush fee. All posters ordered by the deadline will be delivered to the conference venue on June 1.
​
Alternatively, you are welcome to arrange your own printing and bring your poster to the venue.
