Posted in 2010 Conference on August 25th, 2010 by Colleen – Be the first to commentTrack Name: Poster Session
Track Chair:
- Karen M. Hackett (@khackett), Communications Coordinator at Penn State University
Karen has been involved with HighEdWeb for five years, and is a major fan of her Blackberry – although she confesses that, if being left on a deserted island, she might just consider going without technology altogether. Maybe.
Her advice to #heweb10 attendees is very wise: “Network, make friends, start new conversations! Some of the best attributes of the conference include the people who make it happen and the people who attend – great relationships to be made and kept!” And, as Karen notes, the conference’s poster session provides an excellent opportunity to connect with conference colleagues and strike up new conversations.
In Karen’s words, “Poster sessions are an excellent, interactive way to present a project or an idea, share best practices, or build new collaborations. Poster session presenters create a poster of the information to be shared and provide a short overview of the session, followed by a more in-depth discussion with interested colleagues. They provide an excellent forum for sharing information about projects, ideas/concepts, applications, and information.”
#heweb10 attendees can look forward to viewing more than 35 posters this year, arranged in an open set up to allow for plenty of movement and room to mingle.
Register today for #heweb10 – don’t miss out on checking out this great track!
