7th Commandment: Have thy references. Look if you reference a paper in your poster, bring a hardcopy of each with you and just leave it on the ground. If someone is arguing a point with you that way you can yank the journal shot them the figure and tell em to eat crow. Oh and have about no more than 10 references in your poster.
A collection of notable posters (and a few presenters) and every known book devoted to academic conference posters.
Academic conference posters are often ugly, with tiny text, confusing layouts, and dubious colour schemes. This blog and book is about making posters informative and beautiful.
This blog usually updates on Thursdays.

I agree its rare, but I have it just in case there is some form of dispute. Someone has argued with me before about how much a given protein has contributed to a process because of based upon what they read in a review but upon looking at the primary data, it looks pretty shaky to begin with. So if leaving a few sheets of paper by my feet can correct a misconception than I find it worthwhile.
