    An effective poster presentation clearly communicates its main message, is highly visual, and can be easily read from 1-2 meters away. It engages colleagues in conversation and allows the presenter to convey their key points to as many people as possible. Proper poster design includes keeping text short and using active voice, employing a column format for layout, using simple and clean graphs, and leaving white space for readability.
