Catchup – Salon – Developing & Presenting a Conference Poster
May 14 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers, and group online chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire, and educate. In this session, we hear from Sofia Marcolini, PhD Student from Alzheimer Centrum Groningen & Dr Sarah-Naomi james, Postdoctoral Researcher from University College London, sharing top tips on how to develop an outstanding conference poster.
A conference poster is more than just a summary of your research—it’s your chance to capture attention, spark conversations, and make connections that could shape your career. But how do you distil complex findings into a clear, engaging, and visually compelling format? How do you present it in a way that not only informs but also inspires? And most importantly, how can your poster be more than just a requirement—how can it be a launchpad for collaboration, funding, and even future innovation? Today, we’ll explore the art of developing and presenting a conference poster that makes an impact.
