Poster Presentation

Each team (or individual) attending the International Space Development Conference is expected to present a formal poster at the ISDC Space Settlement Student Design Contest Poster Session. In order to present a poster you and/or your team most register for a slot, as spaces are limited upon registration. Due: May 12, 2016.

 

This poster session will be divided into two groups (I & II).

 

Your team/individual will be assigned a presentation group, day and location. 

 

The information for the group, day, time and location for the Poster Presentation will be given at the Registration Desk. 

 

More information and assignments will appear on this page in future days. 

Rules:

The Poster Presentation should highlight each teams project as submitted to the NASA Ames Annual Space Settlement Design Contest, and it will need to be in a “poster-style” display format.
 

The dimensions of the poster presentation should not exceed (no larger than) 1 meter by 1.5 meters (3 feet by 4 feet).

  • It is acceptable to have posters smaller than this size or to mosaic smaller parts into a larger sized poster. 

  • A vertical orientation is preferred although horizontal orientations are acceptable as well.

  • Due to the large numbers of posters and limited space, we ask that your poster be oriented in portrait (vertical) rather than landscape (horizontal).

  • Models, flyers, or handouts are also allowed and may be displayed. 

  • It is not recommended that computers be used for additional information unless you are willing to stay with your computer at all times.

    • This is a security issue. The National Space Society is not responsible for lost or stolen computers.

    • Access to electrical power to operate computers is severely limited and generally not available.

Tips:

  • Use a standard format like PowerPoint (preferred) for the presentation. If you are using Apple KeyNote presentations, it will need to be exported and saved as a PDF file.

  • Good presentations use mostly visuals and a few words. Remember, less is more.

  • Present only one or two points on a slide.

  • Keep it simple.

  • Never read from the slides.

  • Slides should not contain complete sentences (just key words to help prompt your memory).

  • Be well practiced. You should be able to do the presentation without the slides and without reading note cards. The slide should provide you witj all the hints you need to know what you are going to talk about. 

Other:

Note: Bring at least two backups of your presentation in a PC compatible format. 

 

To ensure that we receive the presentation , you can send a copy of your presentation to nss-students@nss.org

 

Remember to say "Thank You" at the end of your presentation
