Many symposiums and conferences include poster sessions – a valuable opportunity for students and researchers to share their work in a visual format.

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.
