Preparing your Poster Presentation before the Conference.

Carefully prepare your poster well in advance of the conference. There will be no time or material available for last minute preparations at the conference. If you think you may need certain materials to repair the poster after traveling, BRING THEM WITH YOU.

Use color for highlighting and to make your poster more attractive. Think about what attracts you to posters and other visual displays. Use pictures, diagrams, cartoons, figures, etc., rather than only text wherever possible.

The ideal poster is designed to (1) attract attention; (2) provide a brief overview of your work; and (3) initiate discussion and question.

You're welcome.
