A poster presentation is the presentation of research at a conference, symposium, or other type of academic or professional meeting. Presenters, either individually or in groups, typically stand at their poster and answer questions from audience members and/or a panel of judges. Posters are used to present research in many disciplines ranging from Biomedicine to the Arts and Humanities. Overall, posters should be easy to read and contain only the most important information such as evidence, methods, and conclusions.
Posters can be printed and displayed, displayed digitally on a screen, or hosted online depending on the modality of the meeting. Whether printed or digital-only, authors need to ensure that their content is legible, undistorted, and reflects the seriousness of their research.
Although there is no one standard for poster presentations, there are certain guidelines that are helpful to follow:
Touro University Research Day is an opportunity to share the wide scope of exciting scholarship by our faculty and students in the undergraduate and graduate divisions and the professional schools with a large community of scholars. Complementing the multi-disciplinary poster sessions, external and internal keynote speakers are invited to share the results of their cutting-edge research with all participants and attendees.
Stay tuned for information on Research Day 2023!
