Presenter Instructions

Read and follow the instructions below. Contact a coordinator at the entrance of the hall if you have questions or concerns after reading this entire page. 

Setting up your poster

1. Using the Student IP Info Spreadsheet, find your poster number. Your session is indicated by an A or B in front of your poster number in the far right column of the sheet. 

2. Posters are separated by number and are located in the bins at the end of each row. Once you've found your poster, grab four tacks from the tables around the edge of the room and go to your numbered poster board. Please use only the tacks you need for your poster. 

3. Go to the Check In tables and grab your nametag. The nametag will tell you what board to hang your poster on. Put on your nametag and hang your poster. 

4. After you've set up your poster, place all backpacks, coats, etc. in the coatroom just outside the Varsity Hall entrance (follow signs). The coatroom will be locked and monitored throughout the symposium.

During the symposium

1. The symposium will be open to the public. Please be sure your poster is up, you have your nametag on, and you've placed all belonging in the coatroom by the time your session begins.

2. You will also present to your peers during the symposium. 

   • During the first 30 minutes of each session, students with odd numbered posters will talk to the presenters on either side of them about their projects. For example, presenters at poster #11 will talk to the presenters at posters #10 and #12. Any remaining time during that 30 minutes should be spent looking at other posters in the hall.

   • During the next 30 minutes, students with even numbered posters will follow the same process. 

3. Feel free to fill up your water bottle, use the restroom, or grab a cookie during the symposium. Remember to return to your poster promptly so you don't miss a visit from any guests. 

4. DO NOT pack up your poster before being told to do so at the end of your session. You are expected to attend the entire symposium unless you have received prior approval from a coordinator. 

5. To check-out: swipe your Student ID at one of the laptops that are set up for check-out.
