Congratulations on being chosen to present a poster at the 37th PVSC! Poster sessions are critical to the success of the conference, contributing to both the breadth and the depth of coverage in photovoltaic technology. Poster papers make it possible for a large number of important developments in the field of photovoltaics to be presented. In addition, the poster sessions allow authors the opportunity to personally interact and network with interested parties, and discuss research results at a level of detail that cannot be approached in formal questions following an oral presentation.
As a Poster Presenter, the following lists your responsibilities:
- Manuscripts are required for all poster presentations in Areas 1-9. Manuscripts are accepted for poster presentations in Area 10, but are not required. Be sure to upload your manuscript (Download Manuscript Instruction / Stylesheet), following the guidelines on the PVSC website (http://www.ieee-pvsc.org/PVSC37/author-central.html), by June 6, 2011. We value ALL your contributions and expect each to be represented in the Proceedings.
