The Conference Program Committee is now accepting poster presentation proposals for consideration as part of the 2018 NIRSA Annual Conference taking place in Denver, Colorado from March 4–7. Poster presentations showcase research and/or an institutional program. An effective poster operates on multiple levels; a successful one should serve as a source of information, as a conversation starter, as an advertisement of the presenter’s work, and as a summary of the presenter’s work.
Unlike a typical educational session, a poster presentation allows viewers to study information and discuss it with presenters. It combines text and graphics to make a visually-pleasing presentation that allows viewers a quick and efficient overview of a topic.
When creating a poster presentation proposal, keep in mind that every poster presentation should align with the eight core competencies for collegiate recreation. A guide is available to help presenters build an effective proposal.
All presenters must have a current NIRSA membership when they submit their presentation proposal. That membership must also be current during NIRSA 2018. If you want to submit a poster presentation proposal and are not a member, sign up to become one today!
All confirmed lead presenters and co-presenters must register for NIRSA 2018. Co-authors may be recognized for their contributions to poster presentations, but only registered presenters will be allowed to attend the 2018 Annual Conference. Non-registered authors and contributors cannot present in any capacity. To be considered, you must submit your poster presentation by Wednesday, October 18. To learn more about preparing a proposal, please visit NIRSA’s Presenter Resource page.
