WHAT IS A POSTER SESSION?
Poster sessions are a common feature of professional conferences, especially in fields where research and innovation play a major part. In general, posters presentations are less structured than a paper presentation, but they allow for greater and more detailed exchange of information and personal contact between the presenters and their audience.
The posters are typically set up in a designated room or area where conference attendees can walk around and look at all of them and speak with the presenters one-on-one about their work. Presenters may have handouts that summarize or expand upon the poster content
WHY WOULD I PRESENT A POSTER?
You can use a poster to quickly and effectively report findings from a recent study or project, discuss program outcomes and give updates on work in progress, or announce the launch of a new initiative. Well-designed posters convey important points and ideas quickly, and poster sessions are especially good at stimulating substantive interactions with your audience. If you’ve ever wished there was more time for Q&A during a panel, or wished you could just let your data speak for itself, a poster session is ideal. If you have a questionnaire to distribute or are seeking survey participants, poster sessions are a great place for that too!
