Abstract
Communicating your research via a poster is an excellent way to engage your peers, attract attention to your work and network with senior colleagues.
Effective poster presentations require the researcher to consider several aspects such as design, data visualisation, image quality, key messages, concise written communication, public speaking and networking; it is therefore important to start planning your poster well in advance of the event.
- How can you display your research in an engaging visual format using accurate and clear visual representations?
- How should you present and discuss it during a poster session at an event?
- How can you use your poster to engage senior colleagues and expand your network?
This workshop is designed to introduce participants to effective poster design and networking strategy, it will also touch on some online tools and technologies that may be helpful for poster presentations.
Short group exercises, case studies and the instructor’s personal experience will be included to illustrate key points.
At the end of this workshop researchers will have:
- an overview of various poster designs and structures to include examples
- designed their own poster and have tips on how to present the poster at conferences
- an appreciation of the advantages of poster sessions and how to network effectively in these situations
- been introduced to ways of making their poster visible online and how to reuse it after conferences.
