Effective communication starts with knowing who your audience is. At poster sessions there is intense competition for audience attention. In their first 3 seconds your audience will determine whether to stay and explore your content or leave.
Make sure the title and author's name are prominent and eye- catching
Tell a story: provide clear flow of information from introduction to conclusion
Focus on your major findings - a common fault is to try to cover too much. Few delegates are going to read everything on your poster, so get to the point.
Use graphs, tables, diagrams and images where appropriate. Use boxes to isolate and emphasise specific points.
ยท Always follow the conference guidelines, which may be specific about what you are expected to present.
