NCMC Annual Conference in Fayetteville: Poster Session.
Call for Proposals:
We seek proposals for poster sessions from undergraduate and graduate students that explore the theme of this year’s conference, Challenges of the New Century and/or showcase work accomplished in the last year whether through internships or paid positions within the museum field.
What is a poster session?
A poster session is a short presentation that can be given several times during a session. As others have said, think “Science Fair” for the museum world. As a presenter, you will be stationed a table with your visuals and need to speak to interested conference participants, some of whom may stay to listen to your short presentation while others may just look and listen for a few minutes and move on. Providing handouts is encouraged.
When will the poster sessions take place?
Student Presentation Poster Sessions will be the reception before dinner (from 5:00 to 6:00) on Thursday, March 6, 2008.
