Follow
Microsoft Research

Presenting a poster at an international conference is a terrific opportunity to promote your research and raise your professional profile in a global academic forum. However, it can be daunting to compete with other presenters to get the attention of a passing audience. As well as a clear and captivating poster, you need the ability to build rapport quickly and present your subject positively and succinctly. This can be especially challenging when English is the shared language but not everyoneΓÇÖs mother tongue. Whether you are a native or a nonnative English speaker, you will require flexibility and sensitivity to others in order to get your message across clearly. During the three poster sessions, Sue will be hovering in the room, watching and listening to your approach. She will then prepare to highlight on the final day the key thoughtprocesses as well as the verbal and nonverbal skills you need to give a powerful poster presentation. After this, Sue will be available to provide confidential onetoone feedback for any students who are interested.
