Term2.png Poster Presentation
A Poster Presentation or Poster session is the presentation of research information by an individual or representatives of research teams at a congress or conference with an academic or professional focus. The work is usually peer reviewed. Poster sessions are particularly prominent at scientific conferences such as medical congresses for instance. Typically a separate room or area of a tradeshow floor is reserved for the poster session where researches accompany a paper poster, illustrating their research methods and outcomes. Each research project is usually presented on a conference schedule for a period ranging from 10 minutes to several hours. Very large events may feature a few thousand poster presentations over a matter of a few days. Presentations usually consist of affixing the research poster to a "portable wall" with the researcher in attendance answering questions posed by passing colleagues.[1]
