All poster presenters are requested to submit their poster presentation file (in PDF format) by Tuesday, September 1, 2026. We will cover the costs of having your poster printed and mounted on backing board using our printer in Santa Fe. PDF poster files should be emailed directly to Kurt Gardella at kurt@adobeinaction.org. For files larger than 20MB we recommend using a file transfer service such as We Transfer or Dropbox Transfer.

All conference posters will stay in our possession after the conference and be added to the Earth USA Poster Archive.
