Posters
Once you receive an email from the GU PDA confirming the acceptance of your abstract for a poster presentation, you will need to ensure that your poster is prepared. Keep in mind that like your abstract, your poster and poster presentation should be geared toward a general audience.
If you have a poster already printed from a recent meeting, you are welcome to use it. Please send us the dimensions of your poster so we can reserve adequate space for you. If you are creating a new poster, we will assist in the cost of poster printing. You will receive details about poster specifications and deadlines in your confirmation email.
As we draw closer to the GU Postdoctoral Research Symposium, you will receive further instructions regarding poster placement, evaluations, and schedules for attending your poster.
Oral Presentations
The oral presentation sessions will consist of a series of 15-minute talks with PowerPoints, followed by 5 minutes for questions and transition. If you are interested in presenting your research in an oral format, be sure to indicate this during abstract submission. Only a select number of abstracts will be chosen for oral presentations.
Oral presentations should be geared to a general audience.
Prizes
- 1st prize (oral & poster): $100
- 2nd prize (oral & poster): $60
- 3rd prize (poster): $30
Networking Reception
The Networking Reception will bring together current Georgetown postdocs, faculty and graduate students as well as community members from various industries in the D.C. metro area. Postdocs can use this as an opportunity to make connections and learn more about career opportunities.
Judges
We are seeking faculty, graduate students, staff, and postdocs to give feedback and scores for oral and poster presentations.
