Parts of a poster • Banner • Introduction • Method • Findings • Summary/Conclusion • Further work Note: Including an abstract in the poster is NOT recommended, because a poster is already a concise description the work done. Keep it simple, clear and attractive…
Conference Poster – final plan • Make initial version • Prepare what you will say • Practice with poster (simple & detailed version) • Decide how to print poster • Decide how to take the poster to the venue • Make final version
Shopping list.. • scotch tape • glue • thumb tacks • correction fluid • marker pens • handouts • note pad • pen • ring binder (for materials not being presented but may be required ) • draft of full paper (include name, address, date, conference name) Some things you will need to present your poster
Finally presenting the poster.. • You + poster = team • Welcome audience • Give handouts • Keep track of comments, feedback, questions & concerns Remember to be interactive….
For any conference.. • Plan schedule in advance • Explore where your discipline is headed outside your particular area of interest • Note good questions to ask • Meet new people • Take care of your self • Enjoy!
