The art and science of poster presentation in a conference

Poster presentation is an effective mode of scientific communication and involves both arts and science. The poster presentation besides being aesthetically designed should also contain necessary high quality. While efforts are made to teach the elements of writing a journal article in many graduate school curricula, much less attention is pain to teaching those skills necessary to develop a good oral or poster presentation - even though these arguably are the common and most rapid ways to disseminate new findings. The various stages of poster presentation include planning, organization, printing, poster transportation, display and interaction stage. Electronic poster (or e-poster) is a new way to present academic work at conference and there is an increasing acceptance of this form of poster. In both the formats, poster presentation should be visual feast for the attendee.
