Is this a hybrid event?
The poster session is not a hybrid event. All presenters and guests will attend in person.
Will the event feature paper and electronic posters?
This event will feature electronic posters only.
What is involved in the poster presentation?
During the event, presenters will stand by their posters to answer questions from colleagues. Teams are encouraged to set a rotation schedule to allow all presenters to visit other posters and network with their colleagues.
How can I learn more about the event and what to expect as a presenter or attendee?
The EVPT website provides an overview of the 2023 event; also see these MIT News articles from 2018 and 2019. This website includes photos and a list of poster topics from previous years.
How do I design my poster?
Choose from three templates, or design your own! You can find detailed formatting information on the Poster Instructions page. For additional guidance, plan to attend a technical webinar on September 19 at 1 pm. The webinar will be posted for later viewing for those unable to attend.
Can I bring handouts?
Yes! Please indicate in your registration if you will be providing handouts. Presenter handouts will be displayed on a communal table during the session.
Do I need to stay for the full block of check-in time from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m.?
No. Check-in takes about 15 minutes – though if you are bringing your own device, set-up could take a bit longer. We recommend arriving early to have additional time to troubleshoot if necessary.
