“Unlike a scientific talk, poster presentations allow for personal interactions with other scientists. Because poster presentations are concise summaries of scientific projects, much time and effort is required explain complicated information as clearly and succinctly as possible.” – Matt Carter brings to point the aim and the challenge of Poster Pitches.

The activity-based workshop, led by a theatre professional, provides you with the opportunity to use techniques in communicating your message fast and engaging to specific target audiences at poster sessions.

Throughout the workshop, you will be guided through interactive exercises to improve your language skills and language structuring. Ultimately you will put together a poster pitch presentation and explore strategies for dynamically communicating and highlighting your core messages in conversations.

The workshop introduces unique ways of positioning a topic or an idea of the poster and Storylines are developed, practiced, and presented with coaching and feedback. You are required to prepare and bring your poster in either printed or digital format for the workshop.
