Presentations

AAPG audiences are sensitive to commercial overtones and overuse of corporate logos in scientific presentations. You are advised to employ the proper professionalism and discretion in these areas. Logos on posters are appropriate on the title and summation graphics and should not detract from the scientific message. Advertising and sales promotions in any form are strictly prohibited.
