Further guidance
Example
APA-style invented reference context: Community Heat Mapping in Small Cities appears in roman type as the poster-presentation title in the reference entry.
Practical Application
In the cited APA reference model for a conference poster presentation, keep the poster-presentation title in roman type rather than italics, then supply the surrounding presentation/conference information in the required pattern.
Reader Check
Separate the APA reference-entry rule from the visual design of the physical poster itself. Display typography on the poster can follow another design or institutional system.
Recommendation
In APA-style reference entries for poster presentations, keep the poster title in roman type and follow the model for the surrounding conference information.
