Poster sessions are an opportunity for students to present their research in an informal context. All of the posters are set up at once and each presenter is expected to stand with their poster for the entirety of the session to answer questions from passers-by that will include Industrial Affiliates, faculty\/staff, and fellow students. The advantage of this format is that it can be a lot less intimidating to be a part of than a panel or paper presentation. Don’t forget to dress in business casual! (More on that below)
