Q: What is a poster session?
Poster sessions are where frontline campus innovators share their expertise with attendees through a physical poster display. The presenter visits with attendees as they stop by their poster to explain and discuss their topic. Poster sessions are more informal and interactive than other traditional sessions, allowing for more personal connections to be made.

Q: What size should my poster be and how will it be displayed?
Your poster will be affixed to the provided 40 X 30 foam board so will need to fit within these dimensions. The poster (on the foam board) will then be displayed on an easel. You may use this poster template or can create your own. EDUCAUSE will also provide poster presenters with a small table at each display.

Q: Will supplies be available for setup?
Yes. During poster set-up, a small supply of pushpins, T-pins and Velcro will be provided for you to affix your poster to the foam board. Power will not be provided for laptops or tablets, so if you plan to use one at your poster display, be sure it is fully charged. Also, note that there will be no equipment security or storage available when you are not presenting, so please keep valuable items with you at all times.

Q: As a poster presenter, will I have internet access?
Q: How many posters will there be?
Q: Do I need to provide supplemental material? If so, what format(s) are accepted?
Q: Do you have a preferred naming convention for files?
All presenters should share their presentation/poster materials prior to the annual meeting. Please rename files to be uploaded with the session title and the resource type (examples: "Name_of_Session_Poster" and/or "Name_of_Session_ Handout"). If you password-protect a PDF document, please make sure to enable the file to be read by a screen reader. It is our goal to make our resources easily available to those who use adaptive and assistive technology to access files over the internet.
