Instructions for presenting a poster.

  • Prepare and practice a succinct summary speech about your project that lasts no longer than three minutes.
  • Instead of making a lengthy presentation, posters should encourage discussion. As a result, minimize the amount of text on your poster, place an emphasis on graphics, and make sure nothing you include is unnecessary.
  • Speaking and acting professionally is crucial as this is a wonderful networking opportunity. Additionally, you would get a lot of feedback and exposure.
  • Add handouts to your poster as an addition.
  • Ensure logical transitions between ideas in each section.
  • All day long, posters are on display. Please wait to take down your poster until the poster session is over. During the poster session, you must be on hand to discuss your research and respond to inquiries. Stand to the side of your display during this time to avoid blocking it.
