Poster Templates
Professional research poster templates for MPCR Lab members. These HTML-based templates follow FAU's official branding guidelines and are designed for conference-quality output.
Each template renders as a full-page poster that can be printed directly from your browser or saved as a PDF. Edit the frontmatter in the Markdown file to customize your content.
Horizontal (48 x 36 in)
Standard landscape format used at most academic conferences. Three-column layout with FAU blue header, section panels, and footer with QR code.
Vertical (36 x 48 in)
Portrait format for venues that require vertical displays. Two-column layout with the same professional FAU branding and section structure.

2. Edit Frontmatter
Update the YAML frontmatter with your title, authors, sections, images, and references. Content uses Markdown.
