Poster Session UBC Vantage College Conference
July 18-19, 2016
Be prepared to speak to a broad audience Prepare and rehearse a two‐minute overview of your research How to get the dialogue
started:
“Do you have a few minutes to hear about my research?” Be prepared for someone to ask you “Tell me a bit about your research”
Be prepared for informal dialogue Anticipate questions Your poster is an advertisement for your research Provide a hook to draw them
in
Present the highlights of your
research
Handouts are optional
Assume your audience is not a part of your discipline Define important concepts Simplify the language and avoid jargon, especially in your verbal
explanation
Use visual aids to explain processes,
theories, and outcomes
Be sure to speak slowly and clearly Remember the intonation practice from VANT 140 Begin stages high – ending low Stress important words
Rehearse your 1 - 2 minute presentation to ensure: You are able to present in the time allotted (<2 Minutes) Your nerves won’t get the best of you You present clearly and smoothly You know what you want to say You appear competent and knowledgeable Practice one‐on‐one or small group discussions
YOU CANNOT COVER EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR RESEARCH, SO ANTICIPATE
QUESTIONS
AUDIENCE MEMBERS MAY ASK ABOUT:
MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE RESEARCH METHODS
(DON’T INCLUDE EVERY DETAIL IN YOUR 1-2 MINUTE TALK).
HOW FINDINGS RELATE TO OTHER PHENOMENA WHERE YOUR RESEARCH WILL GO FROM HERE
MOST QUESTIONS COME FROM PEOPLE INTERESTED IN YOUR RESEARCH THAT
WANT TO KNOW MORE
IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER, SAY SO.
THAT IS AN INTERESTING IDEA. I NEED TO INVESTIGATE THAT FURTHER
Credit sources
APA Style Citations are important to support your work.
Be truthful
Present problems encountered Ensure you are presenting your research honestly Do not exaggerate conclusion or implications.
A Good Poster Will Have:
- Minimal paragraphs of text.
- The poster should read from top left to bottom right, like you are reading a paper.
- Bullet points should be optimized.
- Photos, graphs and other illustrations should be used to help visualize outcomes.
- Make sure to have high quality resolution on the images. Try to use JPEG images.
- Should summarize the importance of the topic, how it is being examined, and
what has been learned.
- Your 1 – 2 minute talk should represent the poster.
Practice your 1 – 2 minute “elevator speech” about your research
project
Be prepared to have one‐on‐one and
small group conversations
Have your poster ready to hang Arrive early for your
session.
Stay for the entire
session
Do not leave your poster unattended Get to know the research of your nearby posters Invite faculty members! Selfies are okay
(not too many and don’t let them disrupt the presentation)
Dress professionally
Size: 3’ x 4’ (36” x 48”)
Tip: Design your poster on a PowerPoint slide and resize when printing
Poster Presentation Title
The title should be approximately the entire width of the poster the main text broken into multiple columns, usually three or four columns depending on the size of the poster. You may also want to use section headings within the columns at the start of each
section.
Title (Suggested font size: 72-120)
Use fonts such as Times New Roman Placed at the top center of the poster Below the title, in smaller font, include the
following (Suggested font size: 48-80):
Names of authors Major Your VANT149 Instructor University of British Columbia
Introduction (Suggested Header Font Size 36‐72)
What is the problem and why is it important? (Body Font Size 24‐ 48) Hypothesis?
What are you investigating?
Define the problem, question, or
topic
Research Methods (Suggested Header Font Size 36‐72)
Surveys, experiments, interviews, data analysis, etc… (Suggested Body Font Size 24‐48)
Results and Discussion (Suggested Header Font Size 36‐72):
What have you discovered or what do preliminary results show?
(Suggested Body Font Size 24‐48)
References (Suggested Header Font Size 36‐72) Acknowledgements (Suggested Header Font Size 36‐72)
- INCLUDE AND LABEL ALL GRAPHICS,
CHARTS, TABLES, FIGURES, AND PHOTOS
- INFORMATION SHOULD BE BRIEF AND PRESENTED
LOGICALLY
- POSTERS SHOULD BE READABLE FROM ABOUT 1
METER AWAY
Edit, review and spell‐check all elements of
your poster display
Maintain a logical flow of information
Posters should be colourful and
eye‐catching (but not overly colourful!)
Pay attention to contrast when selecting text colors Try not to put text over images
Consistent use of space Leave space around images and blocks of
text
Avoid creating a crowded poster
Good Spacing Bad Spacing
Use of color
Select colors the compliment and contrast with each other Avoid extremely bright colors Text color should contrast background color
Easiest to read: black text on a white background
Include color as design elements (borders, shapes, etc.)
Also ok: dark background with light colored text
Use of text
Select no more than 2 different fonts
Too many
GETS DISTRACTING
And difficult
to read
AVOID USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
People read shapes of words Using all capitals distorts those shapes slowing our
processing time
Each poster will be evaluated by a Vantage College instructor This is an opportunity to give you constructive comments These evaluations will be used to rank poster presentations and
