A poster is a method of presenting your research-in-progress to an audience in a visual format.

You will have a unique opportunity to combine visual and oral explanations of your project.

The images and text that you choose can draw your audience to learn more through one-on-one or small group conversations.

Ultimately these conversations should become both a more relaxed and a more intensive form of oral presentation than the traditional conference paper presentation.

Activity – in class

• While you are working on the intellectual process

of your poster, think about the advantages of this

format. What can be gained by presenting your

research this way?

• Write down on a post-it note – your explanation

(in 5 min.)

• Put it up on the wall (put your name on top

Poster Advantage

• A poster speaks for itself. The presence of

its author is not necessary. Reach a

broader audience.

• To present several posters in the same

room

• Sometimes as the author you have the

possibility to present a poster while giving

a short introduction. An interactive

situation evolves while having a close

contact to the audience, closer than when

delivering a speech.

• Posters can be used several times and

presented at different events.

• A poster is suited for people suffering

from stage fright at least,

Disadvantage

• Once a poster is printed it will be difficult to make corrections or adaptions; it is therefore less flexible when compared to a presentation that can be modified any time.

• A poster must attract attention. Especially when being presented at a poster fair, it has to compete with many others posters.

• Preparing a poster can take just as much time as when writing a speech. However, practice makes perfect.

• Posters generally require reduced content as well as getting to the point. Selecting what has to be included or omitted is not always easy.

Rules for Poster presentation

Rule 1 - Defining the aim or purpose of Poster

• Depending on the status and nature of the work being presented, as well as the intent.

• Use for once or repeatedly?

• Questions to consider when preparing the poster.

What do you want the person passing by your poster to do?

Engage in a discussion about the content?

Learn enough to go off and want to try something for themselves?

Want to collaborate?

All the above, or none of the above but something else? Style your poster accordingly.

Rule 2: Sell your work through title

• Sell Your Work in less than 20 seconds

• You will need to fight for attention.

• The first impressions of your poster, and to a

lesser extent what you might say when standing

in front of it, are crucial.

• Title must be catchy (interesting)
