Presentations and Posters

Region X Student Transportation Conference

Presentation Guidelines: Giving a presentation at the Region X Student Conference is a great way to share your research and get feedback on your ideas. Each presentation should fit within a 15-minute time slot. Please limit your presentation to around 10 minutes to save time for setup and Q&A.

The student presentation order is to be determined after registration is closed.

Poster Guidelines: The poster session will lead into lunch with time to explore other students’ research and discuss your own research with interested students.

OTREC provides a poster template that is helpful if you’ve never made a poster before or want to refine your skills. Use the following information for inspiration, but feel free to be creative!

Topics

Any transportation-related topic is welcome. Some examples include:

Thesis/dissertation research
Research projects
Class papers
Observations from another country where you have traveled or lived
Another transportation topic of interest

Design Tips

Include a title, your name(s), and campus/department affiliation.
Provide a short abstract
Use photographs and/or graphics where possible.
Acknowledge faculty, research sponsors, etc., as appropriate.
You may also want to have cards available with your contact information.
