Poster presentations are an important part of sharing your work with your colleagues in an academic setting. It is an easy way for people to meet and get a lot of information about a lot of projects all at once, and the informal atmosphere allows each viewer to go at their own pace – they can stop and ask questions about the posters that really interest them and they can skim and pass over posters that aren’t as relevant to their interests.

Your poster should highlight the most important and most interesting things about your project, but some of the information might be better delivered in a conversation with the reader. Use your judgement to create a poster that is a good conversation starter, and be sure to have lots of different people look at your draft poster so you can get their feedback.
