Poster Presentation

A conference poster competition is an event where researchers, scientists, and innovators present their original research findings in a visually appealing and concise format. Posters are typically displayed electronically or on physical boards during the conference, allowing participants to showcase their work to a wider audience and engage in discussions with potential collaborators.

Visuals & Text

  • Embrace Graphs over Tables: Ditch dense tables and opt for eye-catching graphs that reveal trends and patterns in your data with clarity and impact.
  • Simplify Tables: When tables are necessary, keep them concise and easy to navigate.

  • Structured Organization: Divide your poster into clear sections like Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and Literature Cited. Maintain a balance between text and visuals.
  • Color Palette: Utilize a vibrant and complementary color scheme to highlight important elements and draw attention to key points.
  • Readability from a Distance: Ensure your text is easily readable from a distance of five feet.
  • Future Directions: Incorporate future research plans or questions to spark discussions and engage potential collaborators.
  • Poster Dimensions: Adhere to the standard poster size of approximately 1x1 meter.
