A poster session advertises your program.  It combines text and graphics to make a visually-pleasing presentation.  As viewers walk by, your poster should quickly and efficiently communicate what your program is all about.  Posters invite viewers to ask more detailed questions of the presenters.  A great poster is readable, legible, well-organized and succinct.

The event is Tuesday evening, April 8, from 5:30-7pm.
