What is a poster Presentation?
As a poster presenter you can deliver your presentation effectively to an audience in the form of a poster. There is no formal oral presentation in a poster session, instead each author is assigned a display area on which diagrams, graphics, data, pictures/photos, and a small amount of text are presented.
The poster should be self-explanatory, but the author should be available at certain times, such as refreshment breaks and during the time devoted to poster session, to interact with viewers and answer questions.
Poster presenters could also derive a lot of benefits from registering for the conference.
General Guidelines for Creating an effective Poster Presentation
How you should make the content of a poster? A good poster should answer following questions.
- Does the poster deliver a message?
- Is the information not enough or too much?
- Do the graphics express the information?
- Is the presentation original in its content or findings?
- Is the methodology mentioned?
- Are the aims and objectives mentioned?
- Are the conclusions/results presented?
Visual guidelines for posters
There are many poster templates available online. Select one that makes sense for your presentation. Share the layout with a colleague to obtain feedback before proceeding.
- The heading of the poster should be centered at the top of the poster, and it should include the topic, the author’s name and contact details.
- Select a legible font that is clearly visible, at least from approximately 2.5 meters.
- Use a simple format and spatial layout with helpful color combinations.
- Use reader-friendly icons and symbols such as arrows, numbers, bullets, boxes.
- Avoid abbreviations and jargon as much as possible.
- Your poster will attract viewers if your ideas are presented clearly: the topic, methodology, example, conclusions, as well as the visibility of the poster’s layout, will attract viewers.
