Poster Preparation

Many symposiums and conferences include poster sessions – a valuable opportunity for students and researchers to share their work in a visual format. Posters allow you to present your research highlights, methods, and findings in a way that’s engaging, accessible, and easy for viewers to understand at a glance.

A strong poster presentation can help you:

  • Communicate your research effectively to a broad audience.
  • Receive constructive feedback from peers, faculty, and professionals.
  • Network with researchers in your field and spark new collaborations.
  • Gain experience presenting your work in a professional academic setting.

Whether you’re using a large printed poster or a trifold display board, the key is to balance clarity, visual appeal, and concise content. Think of your poster as both a summary of your research and a conversation starter.

We’ve put together helpful tips and best practices to guide you through designing, organizing, and presenting your poster at academic events.
