Celebrating Linguistic Diversity Conference Poster Fair Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
Wednesday April 30 to Friday May 2, 2014 What? A poster related to your teaching or research How? Submit the title of your poster and a 100-word maximum abstract to Antoinette Gagné at antoinette.gagne@utoronto.ca. You can find the call for posters at: http://www.oise.utoronto.ca/cerll/EVENTS/Conferences/ or http://wordpress.oise.utoronto.ca/diversityinteaching/jcummins/posters-and-tributes/ Where? OISE 5th Floor Lobby When? From April 30 @ 9:45 am until May 2 @ 3:30 pm As the official launch of the poster fair will be at 12:30 pm on April 30th, your poster will need to be on display by noon at the latest. However, ideally you would set it up before the first scheduled break at 9:45 am. The conference ends at 3:30 pm on May 2 at which time you are invited to take down your poster. Guidelines for Poster Preparation As you prepare your poster consider using the checklist prepared by Tracy Volz on the next page to “test whether your poster can stand alone”. There are also some sample posters to give you a sense of the range of possibilities in terms of layout and overall design. There will be bulletin boards and tables available for your poster display. As a result, you can use tri-fold foam board or other easier to carry poster materials. Many software programs can be used to create posters. The best known are Microsoft PowerPoint and the Adobe design programs such as Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. However, there are a growing number of free software programs such as OpenOffice.org's Impress that can also be used to create posters.
