Competitive Poster Presentations involve an author or group of authors standing next to a physical poster display that visually explains the focus of a current or in progress research project or paper in a room of several poster displays. ECA Participants will walk around the session to discuss the project with the authors and offer suggestions, comments, critiques, or insights about the project. This is an interactive session with the aim of improving the resulting status of the project. (You may even want to consider making a handout that summarizes your study to individuals who talk to you about your study.) Posters are “judged” on their ability to draw in discussants for a deliberative conversation, represent the research accurately, and for the merit of the research itself. Recognition is given to the top Posters.
A significant benefit to the Poster Sessions is that they tend to be low pressure interactions and full of energy. If you have never presented at an academic conference, poster sessions are an excellent first step into the academic community.
