Poster Session
A poster session is a dedicated event at a professional conference, typically lasting one to two hours, held in a large room where dozens of research posters are displayed. Presenters stand by their assigned bulletin boards while other researchers circulate through the venue to view the work and initiate discussions. These sessions function similarly to a professional science fair and are highly valued for fostering meaningful dialogue among scientists.
