Purpose

A poster gives you the opportunity to present your research visually. Poster presentations provide an opportunity for interchange of ideas between the presenter and audience interested in his/her research. When presenting your research in a poster, use the poster as a means to catch people’s attention, generate interest and start discussions.

What key questions to address?

What do you want the viewer to remember? Do important points stand out? The key to a good poster is clarity and simplicity. Do not overload the poster.
Is there a balance between words/illustrations? Use figures, tables, graphs and photographs when appropriate; keep text brief.
Is the pathway through the poster clear? Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows helps to guide the viewer through your poster.
Is the poster understandable without oral explanation? Everyone may not have the opportunity to chat with you during the conference.

What points to include on my poster?

short title/ question
an introduction to your research question,
an overview of your approach,
