title	Poster Stands

Poster Stands:

Poster stands are modular, with multiple configuration options. A single stand-alone poster stand requires (2) bases, (2) poles, and (2) horizontals. A single shared set-up, to display two posters, requires (3) bases, (3) poles, and (4) horizontals. A common set-up uses the shared stands to create a long unbroken row of poster stands. Feel free to call us at 512-471-2020 or email us at fs-events@austin.utexas.edu if you would like guidance on your set-up. Some venues require carpet squares to protect the floor that we are happy to provide. You will be asked to attach a diagram on another page in the form.

The support poles are placed 72” apart so each poster can be up to 72” wide. The horizontal supports can be placed 36” or 42” apart, depending on your needs. The lower bar is 40” from the floor and is not adjustable. Posters clip to the bars using binder clips and can be displayed on both the front and back. Posters smaller than the standard size can be clipped to only the top bar or to a piece of foam board for stability. Larger posters can clip to the top bar and hang below the bottom bar, if needed.
