2024 Presentation Guidelines for Research Reports (Poster Presentations)

We offer the following guidelines to aid you in a successful presentation at the ASEV National Conference. The goal of a poster session is to convey information by the combination of a visual display, questions and discussion. This is a good opportunity for direct exchange between conference attendees and you, the presenter. It also provides more time than an oral presentation for attendees to absorb the technical information.

We extend our pre-registration member rate of $265 USD to all presenters through June 11.
