2024 Poster Session Information

Too often, results from excellent research and extension / outreach are not presented as formal presentations in grower-oriented conferences. In 2024, GPGC will feature a poster session from growers, non-profit organizations, graduate students, as well as research / extension staff featuring relevant work conducted in the Midwest, for the benefit of small- and mid-scale farmers.

If you are interested in displaying a poster, follow these simple guidelines below and email Ramon Arancibia at [email protected] or call 417.381.9006. Poster presenters will receive complimentary conference registration for Friday and Saturday, January 12-13, 2024.

GUIDELINES FOR POSTER PREPARATION & SETUP
 
Submission Deadline - January 9, 2024 
 
Audience - Please keep in mind that this conference is aimed at reaching out to farmers, so please try to minimize technical language such as scientific names, statistical analyses, etc. Rather, focus on the applications of your research to improve farming operations. 

Poster Size - Each poster must be contained within the 36 x 36 inch space provided.

Set Up - All posters must be displayed by 10:30 a.m. Friday January 12 and should be removed between 1:30-3:30 p.m. Saturday January 13. Push pins will be made available.
​
Note
  • Poster presenters are required to be at their poster during the afternoon break on Friday from 3:00-3:30 p.m. 
  • Please try to be by your poster during other break times for questions and discussion. ​
  • Handouts with a miniature version of your poster plus more detailed graphics, tables, and prose are encouraged. ​
