Poster displays sessions

Furthermore, in order to stimulate discussions and favourize the exchange of novel ideas and concepts related to various areas of chemical engineering, the participants were invited to contribute to the Conference during the Poster Presentation Session chaired by Professor J. Arandes, from the Universidad del Pals Vasco, Spain. Over 20 poster presentations were displayed at this session. 

In many cases, other poster sessions follow yours or other activities are planned for the poster room, so it is essential (and prudent, if you don t want to lose the poster ) to take it down promptly at the designated time. At ACS national meetings, it should be removed immediately after the close of the session. Used posters are nice to save for display at the home institution—outside your office or lab, for example, to inform (impress) visitors, colleagues, and future co-workers about your productivity and accomplishments. 

Before buying poster paper and going to the word processor, think back on poster sessions you ha e attended. If possible, attend one or two again, look at samples that may be on display at vour institution, and evaluate what works. Your goal in this survey is not to critique the scientific content or the superficial impact of the presentation, but to see (1) which posters allow you to get the most information plus a notable message in the most efficient and straightforward manner and (2) which ones catch your eye anti make you stop to read more closely. These—the simultaneously effective and pleasing posters—are your models. 

The program of the symposium consisted of 142 papers, including 14 invited papers. The invited papers and some selected topics were presented verbally, and all the other 118 papers were displayed in poster sessions. 

The action packed week consisted of the presentation of 14 Plenary Lectures and 19 Invited Lectures a Poster Session at which 100 posters were on display (the participants were fortified during this four hour event by a liberal supply of free food and drinki) and two informal Evening Sessions where liquid refreshments were available to lubricate the vocal chords of delegates. The 220 participants from 23 countries were thus kept completely occupied throughout the meeting.
