Singed up for a poster session at the 2109 Meeting of the Southwest Division of the American Association of Geographers

I have registered to go to the 2019 Southwesten Division of the American Association of Geographers meeting, Oct. 10-12, 2019 in Fort Worth and signed up to do a poster session.

I have submitted my abstract.

I have to design the posters which are 3 feet by 4 feet to have there. I am allowed up to 20 posters, but I think 3 or 4 is all I need.

What you do is stand around your poster and talk to passers by at the convention who are interested. You can have links, and other information about further online resources. I am going to learn QR code so people can just use their smartphones to pull in a link and look stuff up online.

I plan to invite media to drop by and send out a press release.

I am learning that these poster dimensions are way too large for word, so you create a large template as a PowerPoint and then put  your presentation in that. You can also generate things in WORD and do a screen capture and just put your text in as an image.

For the national convention you get one 4 feet by 8 feet template. You can't do that in PowerPoint, but have to do it in Publisher instead, but you can just generate your stuff in WORD and screen capture and drop it in as an image.

I have some time to learn this before they are due and so I can have a gradual learning curve on this, but I don't think it is that difficult.

UPDATE: Version of paper with over 100 images available. Go to this link and follow the link to the page with the paper.
