Prepare to Present your Poster Making the physical poster is only part of preparing for a poster session. Interacting with the audience demands thinking on your feet, applying your social skills, and drawing on short, concise explanations without fumbling or mumbling. Practice 2, 5, and 10-minute versions of your poster presentation. Make sure you can sum up your poster’s key points and conclusions in 2-3 sentences. Practice starting your spiel from different sections of your poster. Think about which parts of your poster will be the most challenging to explain. Anticipate people’s questions and how you will answer them. If you produce handouts, don't substitute your handout for a good oral explanation--the handout is a "take away" piece for reinforcing your message.
