Student Research Symposium POSTER PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
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. ■ (see next slide for more information)
