Information for Presenters

To students presenting at the SUPER conference

Here are some suggestions on how to design your poster for the SUPER conference.

Poster dimensions: All poster sizes are accepted at the SUPER conference. However, each department may insist on particular poster dimensions for students in that department, so be sure to consult with your department representative before creating your poster. Generally, students are encouraged to design their posters to be 91.5 cm x 122 cm (=36 inches x 48 inches). In PowerPoint, click on “Design” (top horizontal menu), then select “Slide size”, and then select “Custom slide size”.

Poster orientation: Your poster may be designed in landscape or portrait orientation. Choose the orientation that you think allows the best layout of your research ‘story’.

Additional suggestions: Somewhere at the top of your poster, please include (prominently) your name, your supervisor’s name, and your affiliation (i.e., the name of your dept., and Thompson Rivers University, or at least the TRU logo). For TRU logos that you can use in your poster, you will find a variety of these at the following webpage: https://www.tru.ca/marcom/brandguide/logos.html.

It is also highly recommended to include a small photo (headshot) of yourself somewhere at the top of your poster, to make it easy for the audience to know who created the poster.
