Poster sessions at conferences and professional meetings present excellent opportunities to visually convey your research findings. At this workshop, you’ll learn everything you need to know to be prepared for a successful poster session, including best practices for poster design, how to effectively engage with attendees and guidelines for creating informative handouts.
