5. A poster session is generally self-contained,
but the presenter is there for Q and A. This
one highlights collaboration tools.

6. This one includes a QR code for additional
information that would have been too much
on the poster.

7. This is colorful and eye-catching, but the information
presented is not so much as to be overwhelming.

8. You don’t even have to be artistic!

9. There’s no one “right way” to make a poster!

10. How would I make one?
 Choose a topic that you would like to share
 Create an infographic or slide, and print it out using
the poster printer. You can also print out several
elements and arrange them on a poster.
( Media Center can help!)
 Write a short description of the poster session to
publish in the program so people will know to choose
your session. Examples are on the next slide.

12. Stand with your poster at the
conference
 Be available for 10 minutes when your poster
session is scheduled.
 Answer questions and explain as necessary.
 Pat yourself on the back for being so willing to
share your expertise with your colleagues!
