POSTER PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
Student Research Symposium
What Is a Poster?■ This is a way to present your research
– People can take a quick look and then move on– People can quickly read about the entire project– Should catch their eyes while remaining professional
Why a Poster and Not a Talk?■ Either is good.
■ A talk is often considered more prestigious. – Fewer talks at a conference than posters
■ People who come to your talk are interested in your paper.
■ At a poster session, people may stop by and look at your poster even if they are not at the session to look at your research
What Does It Look Like?■ Tall and large 6 piece stand that will require large binder clips
to hold the poster in place.
■ One large print
Which should I use?
■ For the A&M-SA Student Research Symposium, we are requiring students to print their posters on a single sheet of banner material from PowerGrafx.
