Conference sessions, poster abstracts, and poster presentations follow a significantly different format than other types of APA references.
- The author of the work is always listed first.
- Next, the FULL date of the conference is listed in the date area, so if a conference is held over several days, you need to list the date the conference starts, through the date the conference ends.
- Next add the title of the work and put it in italics, then add (in square brackets), whether it's a [Poster session], a [Poster abstract], or a [Conference session] and then add a period.
- In the source area share 1) the name of the conference or organization - or both (comma), 2) the name of the city or town the conference was held (comma), 3) the abbreviation of the state or the region (depending on the country) (comma), 4) the country the conference was held.
- Lastly share the URL of the WORK (not the conference in general) as a live hyperlink.

How to list a poster on my CV?
A poster for the project I worked on was accepted at a conference. I am listed as a coauthor on the poster. I did not attend the conference, present the poster or actually help in making the poster as I had already left the lab/school when the abstract was submitted. Since I am officially listed on the submission I want to include this on my CV. I I think I should not write this under "Conference Presentations" as I did not present the work myself. How should I list this in my CV?

- 2 Personally, I list "conference presentations" on my CV and distinguish "as a speaker" and "as a contributer". Additionally, I distinguish "poster presentations" and "talks". – FuzzyLeapfrog Commented Feb 26, 2017 at 8:58
First, I would distinguish between paper presentations and poster presentations in your CV in general, if you don't do this already.
I suggest you list it as you normally would under "Poster Presentations". As long as you make sure that the other coauthors are listed appropriately, there is no reason why this would be an issue.
Unless you are the first author (which I assume you aren't), most people would probably assume that you're not the presenter, though this isn't too crucial. If you really want, you can specify who was the presenting author, but I think this is probably unnecessary in this case.

Poster Presentations
Steps for creating a poster presentation.
Making a poster presentation (or a research poster) can be daunting without proper guidance. This guide will walk you through the steps to take to make a professional and effective poster presentation.
The poster will concisely sum up the author's original research and present findings in visually pleasing fashion with minimal text. Posters tend to include images like charts, graphs, photos or illustrations.
![listing poster presentations 5514326800_dc899846c3_c.jpg](https://library.villanova.edu/application/files/5416/6439/4175/5514326800_dc899846c3_c.jpg)
1. Find a Powerpoint template
To get started, find a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation template.
- There are different types of templates depending on the subject. Be sure to choose one that best fits what you are trying to get across in the poster.
- A Villanova University branded PowerPoint template
- You can also insert Villanova branded graphics from the Office of University Communication and Marketing.
Next, make sure to use an appropriate sized template.
- The most common and standard size for a poster is 36"x 48" . The Student Research Symposium lists 36"x 48" as the proper size.
- Be sure to check any requirements announced by the conference at which the poster is being presented. Some conferences may accept larger or smaller sized posters.
- To check the dimensions in PowerPoint go to Design --> Slide Size --> Custom Size
![listing poster presentations slide size.jpg](https://library.villanova.edu/application/files/5316/6439/7611/slide_size.jpg)
Most posters will contain the type of information that you would find in a journal abstract. Sections on the poster will be organized into blocks that usually include:
- Introduction
- Methodology
- Section headings
- Charts or figures with data
- Conclusions
- Less text is more when it comes to posters. Aim for getting your word count under 800 words or less.
- Avoid copying and pasting sections of your research into the poster. Be sure to make an attempt to cut down on the words and focus more on providing important findings from your research to visually convey your results.
- It is a good rule of thumb to highlight the most important findings in your research and find ways to present the results in a visual or compelling fashion.
- Consider using bullet points or lists over using a straight paragraph of text in the poster.
![listing poster presentations lw00001151_quantized.png](https://library.villanova.edu/application/files/1116/6440/3133/lw00001151_quantized.png)
Most viewers will not read your entire poster in detail. So try to help viewers understand its basic message by looking at the title, abstract or introduction, section headings, figures, and conclusions.
Because the visual aspect of a poster is critical, it is important to use appropriate fonts and sizes .
- Use a font size that can be read from a distance.
- Choose a font that is easy to read like Helvetica or Arial.
- Use bold or underlined text for section headings.
- Keep the font consistent throughout the poster, and use the same size for section headings.
- The rule of thumb for font size is - Title as 72pt, Headings as 48 pt, Figures as 30 pt, and Body text as 28pt.
- 4. Using images
Use your own images
- Make your life easier and decide to use your own images in the poster such as photographs, charts, infographics, tables and other graphics that you created on your own.
- Adobe Express
Find freely available images
Consider using freely available images, like those licensed as Creative Commons , or those in the public domain . You don't need to request permission for these images but you still need to give the creator credit.
Most images are free of copyright (Creative Commons CC license) and do not require an attribution. Avoid using the sponsored images from Shutterstock that may come with fees & license restrictions.
Search for images with a Creative Commons license. If you want to alter the image or use it for commercial purposes, specify those types of licenses in your search criteria.
A specialized search within Flickr for images with Creative Commons licenses. Search results can be filtered by the type of license, such as commercial use and modifications.
A database of freely available media, including public domain and Creative Commons.
Narrow your results by "usage rights." Specify that you want images that are free to use.
Images with "no known copyright restrictions" from the archives of cultural institutions.
Images of works owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Filter results by "Public Domain Artworks" or check for a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) icon below the image.
If referencing another person's work, you need to acknowledge citing it. Be sure to check whether your poster session expects formal citation and if there is a preferred style required. If there is no standard required, be consistent with formatting within the poster.
See the Falvey Library Frequently Used Style Guide for examples of APA, MLA and Chicago Styles.
By using photographs or images in your poster that you did not create, you should follow appropriate copyright requirements for use of the images.
Citing visuals in a poster means creating a label with the citation and permissions.
For example, the basic format for images found on the web in APA style is as follows: Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of image. Title of Website. URL
APA example for image from website

Before exporting the file be sure to:
- Check for spelling errors and other mistakes.
- Check the dimensions and image used in the poster to make sure they do not become blurry or pixelated when viewed at 100%. Remember, when printed to scale, any blurriness will be apparent on the poster at full scale.

- Resources & Preparation
- Instructional Plan
- Related Resources
Students design informational posters, focusing on a current research project. The unit includes an exploration of the genre, a review of informational writing components, and details on effective poster design. Students first analyze a variety of poster examples and list their characteristics, before reviewing the requirements for their own posters. Students then plan their poster design and, after rough drafts are completed, share them in groups and with the whole class for peer feedback. After revisions are made, students share their presentations with the class for additional feedback, and then make final revisions to their posters. Finally, students present their posters in class or at a school-wide research fair.

From Theory to Practice
Poster sessions are a great way to ask students to share their knowledge about a topic. Because of their focus on presentation materials that go beyond simple text on a page, poster sessions require sophisticated multimodal literacy skills. The NCTE Beliefs about the Teaching of Writing explain, "Writers need to be able to think about the physical design of text, about the appropriateness and thematic content of visual images, about the integration of sound with a reading experience, and about the medium that is most appropriate for a particular message, purpose, and audience." Poster sessions focus on all of these multimodal skills, as they ask students to design presentation materials and accompanying presentations that blend text, images, sound, and space. Further, because of the close and obvious relationship between presenter and audience, poster sessions foreground the importance of audience, purpose, and voice for students. As a result, poster sessions encourage students to synthesize their research and then adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language to fit the needs of a particular audience.

Preparation
- This lesson is designed to explore poster design, following a class research project. For additional resources on teaching research and inquiry, see the Websites listed in the Resources section.
- This project works especially well for collaborative projects, where classes view each other’s work over the course of two class sessions.
- Choose a location for your poster session with plenty of open space to allow viewers to flow through the presentations. If the classroom is not large enough, the cafeteria or school library are good choices. Depending upon your school, you may also be able to use space in the hallway outside the classroom.
- Arrange for tables and any additional materials that are available at your school. For example, you may have easels that can be borrowed from the art classroom.
- If bulletin boards or wall space is possible for displaying posters, arrange for thumb tacks, staplers, and tape.
- Print copies of the 60-Second Poster Evaluation , 60-Second Poster Evaluation Chart , 60-Second Poster Evaluation Notes (optional) , and Poster Session Rubric .
- As relevant for the different projects that students will complete, make copies of the Persuasion Map Planning Sheet and Compare and Contrast Chart Graphic Organizer .
- If computers are not available in the classroom, make copies of sample posters from one or more of the following sites: ALA Poster Sessions , Images of Physical Posters , and NCSU Example Posters . Students will analyze the posters in small groups. Allow at least three posters per group.
- Review the Poster Presentations Websites listed in the Resources section, and determine which are appropriate for your class. These guidelines can be used as additional resources or read and reviewed in the class, depending upon the level of support students need.
- Test the Persuasion Map , Compare & Contrast Map , and ReadWriteThink Notetaker on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tools and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
Student Objectives
Students will
- review informational writing components.
- determine the criteria for effective poster presentations.
- explore the ways that purpose and audience influence a message.
- design posters that share their ideas and research.
Session One
- Explain that the class will be completing a unit on designing posters that present their findings from a recent inquiry/research project.
- Ask students to share any experiences that they have with poster presentations (e.g., science fairs, job fairs).
- Share the definition of a poster session from the Colorado State University Writing Guide, and invite students to compare their experiences with the information in the definition.
- Display and discuss the information on the purposes for poster presentations and the possible audiences for these presentations .
- ALA Poster Sessions
- Images of Physical Posters
- NCSU Example Posters
- Ask students to jot down general characteristics that they see in the posters. Allow approximately 20 minutes for groups to explore the examples and list their observations.
- If students need more structure or guidance as they explore the posters, you can pass out the 60-Second Poster Evaluation and have them use the questions to shape their observations.
- Gather the class and ask them to share the characteristics that they have noted. Record their observations on the board or on chart paper.
- Be sure that students include observations on both text and graphic design elements in their comments. If necessary, ask questions to encourage wider analysis of both text and graphics.
- After students have had sufficient time to review the posters and list the characteristics, gather the class and ask each group to share the poster they analyzed and point out the characteristics that they noticed.
- Working with the information students have shared, group like observations to create a class list of characteristics of effective posters.
- Compare the characteristics to the requirements on the Poster Session Rubric , asking students to indicate how the posters they examined would be graded with the rubrics.
- Identify the purpose of the posters, connecting to a recent research project that students have already completed.
- Provide details on the event (e.g., a class session, a school-wide history fair).
- Explain who the audiences for the posters will be.
- Describe the physical space and the resources that will be available during the poster session.
- Discuss how the Poster Session Rubric will be used to assess the session.
- Based on this information, ask students to talk about the specific audience and purpose for their posters, reinforcing the information on the purposes for poster presentations and the possible audiences for these presentations , shared earlier in the session.
- Encourage students to think about the specific purpose for their posters and what the audiences will look for on their posters. For homework, ask students to freewrite on their plans for the posters by thinking about who will look at the posters, what they will be looking for, what information is most important to include, and so forth.
Session Two
- Arrange students in groups, and ask them to share information from their homework with one another.
- Ask group members to provide supportive feedback, pointing to pertinent information from the previous session’s discussion of the characteristics of effective presentations and the two rubrics.
- After students have had time to share their ideas (about 10 to 15 minutes), gather the class, and answer any questions that have come up at this point.
- Share the Writing Strategies for Poster Sessions from the Colorado State University Writing Guide. Be sure to drill down and discuss the information for each of the four bullet points in the Guide. If students have already written a paper on their inquiry, be sure to emphasize the ideas in the "Working From a Drafted Paper" section.
- Connect the Writing Strategies information to the Poster Session Rubric .
- Cover the details in the What to Include section of from the Colorado State University Writing Guide as well. Stress the importance of choosing content that communicates the important information without providing more text than the audience will be able to read during the poster session. Save the details on Graphics for the next session.
- Briefly overview the three graphic organizers that students can use to begin structuring the information for their poster session: Persuasion Map , Compare & Contrast Map , and ReadWriteThink Notetaker . Explain what the organizer is used for and which topics it will best fit. For instance, the Persuasion Map can be used if the presenter is trying to argue a specific point about a topic. Use example topics from the class to make the overview more concrete.
- If desired, share the Notetaker Example , based on the Award-winning Southern Flounder Exhibit Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination from the NCSU Example Posters site, to discuss how to use outlining as an organization tool for poster design.
- During the remainder of the class, students can begin work structuring their ideas and planning their posters, according to the information covered in the Writing Strategies for Poster Sessions Web pages.
- In mini-lesson fashion, demonstrate each of the three online graphic organizers, gathering only the students who are most likely to use each online interactive for each presentation.
- For homework, ask students to have completed a graphic organizer for their topics and to sketch a rough outline or design of the information they will include in their poster presentation.
Session Three
- Arrange students in small groups, and ask them to share their graphic organizers and plans with one another. Have students use the Poster Session Rubric to guide their responses.
- Gather the class and answer any questions that students have about the project.
- Review the details on the Poster Session Rubric that apply specifically to the design and graphics used on the posters.
- Share the Graphics section and the Layout section from the Colorado State University Writing Guide. Be sure to drill down and discuss the information for each of the bullet points.
- Return to the Poster Session Rubric and characteristics of effective posters from the first session, and ask students to discuss how the information about the Colorado State University Writing Guide aligns with the information.
- Allow any time remaining in the session for students to work on their presentations.
- Use The Transport Problem from the Colorado State University Writing Guide to review the resources that will be available during the poster session and to discuss how to carry drafts to school.
- For homework, ask students to complete a rough version of their poster presentation to share for feedback during the next session. Allow several days for students to work at home. Add in-class work sessions as desired.
Session Four
- Arrange the class into 4 or 5 small groups. Ask students to set up their drafts for the class to view, keeping each group together in a specified section of the room.
- Give students 5 to 10 minutes to set up their drafts and make any changes.
- Pass out copies of the 60-Second Poster Evaluation Chart and ask students to write their name and the name of their presentation on the sheet. Have them place the chart face down on a table or desk near their drafts.
- Each group will move to the first poster in the next group’s collection, moving clockwise around the room. Students will skip their own collection of posters.
- The group will review the poster, using the 60-Second Poster Evaluation printout to guide their discussions.
- If desired, students can use the 60-Second Poster Evaluation Notes to take notes as they examine the posters.
- After groups have spent 60 seconds evaluating the poster, ask them to turn over the 60-Second Poster Evaluation Chart and add their comments.
- After adding details to the Chart , groups should turn the sheet face down, so that their comments do not influence the next group that reviews the poster.
- All members are to contribute to this process. Comments should be original, not copies of the comments of other groups nor “ditto” marks.
- After each poster is finished, students move to the next poster, rotating through the classroom until every poster has been evaluated by 3 or 4 of the groups.
- At the end of this process, students should arrive back at their own group of posters.
- When the 60-second review is complete, have students return to their posters and read the comments the groups have left them.
- Ask students to take a few minutes to look for similar comments and think about changes that they can make to improve their posters.
- After students have had time to read the feedback and gather their thoughts, ask groups to reassemble. Have group members share the feedback and their plans for revision with one another. Encourage students to make supportive comments and concrete feedback.
- Have group members use the Poster Session Rubric to guide suggestions that they make to others in the group.
- For homework, ask students to create polished versions of their posters to share during the practice presentations.
- If students will complete supplemental handouts (the ideal situation), complete Session Five and ask students to bring a draft of their handout to the session. Otherwise, move on to Session Six.
Session Five (Optional)
If students should include a presentation handout with their poster presentation, review the information from the Prepare Supplemental Handouts from the Colorado State University Writing Guide. Allow time for students to share their handouts in small groups and provide peer feedback. Because handouts should be only one page and easily read, students should have time to review their work and begin revisions during the session. Provide mini-lessons as necessary on any writing techniques that students need help with.
Session Six
- Again, arrange the class into 4 or 5 small groups. Ask students to set up their posters for the class to view, keeping each group together in a specified section of the room.
- Working within their small groups, have students each give a practice presentation for other group members.

Free Editable Poster Presentation Examples
Poster presentations are a popular presentation format for research and clinical findings. These presentations effectively communicate the research data and concepts to the audience using a balanced combination of visuals and text. We will also look into a few poster presentation examples to see how they help communicate with the audience perceptively and concisely.
1. What is a Poster Presentation?
A poster presentation is a short, concise yet clear way of communicating your research, study findings, concepts, and ideas. There are two most critical elements in any poster presentation example: a poster and a brief explanation.
Creating a poster presentation starts with analyzing and evaluating information or synthesizing ideas to present all necessary data and facts. The properties of an effective poster presentation are:
- The flow of information is well-organized and easy to follow.
- The text is easy to read, as a large font is used, and the information is not cluttered.
- Allows to convert to a mind map or a timeline diagram from the Gantt chart
- The balanced use of visuals, text, colors, and graphics makes the poster presentation attractive without losing its functionality.
