onference posters are a simple, visual, and effective way of sharing your research.

Creating a conference poster is a balancing act between including enough detail to effectively describe your work, and keeping it visually attractive and minimal enough that people can understand at least the main points at a glance.

This module will help you create effective conference posters and introduce key design principles.

Session 1 - is the workshop on how to make posters Session 2 - peer review session on the posters the students have created.
