Some FAQs:

1. Does the Canadian Greenhouse Conference print posters onsite? No. The printing of your poster is your responsibility. Your poster will be displayed at the assigned poster board number, which you will receive before October 9^th.
2. Can I still enter the poster session if I can’t attend the conference? Yes, as long as your poster is displayed in the conference’s poster session by the assigned time (TBD) on the morning of October 9^th.
3. Is there an oral presentation component to the poster session? No. The judges score your poster based on the criteria in the “Call for Posters”. The poster session is separate from the Speaker Session Research Updates.
4. Do I need to stand beside my poster at a particular time? No. However, the poster session provides a great opportunity to network with conference attendees and answer questions about your research. Busier times through the poster session tend to be before and after speaker sessions, at breaks and lunchtime.
5. Is this poster session virtual? No. You are required to display a hard copy of your poster (approximately 120 cm x 90 cm (48” x 36”) in either portrait or landscape orientation) in the poster session by the assigned time. You can provide approval to post your poster PDF on the conference website by filling this out on the poster application form.
6. Will I get free registration to the conference if I’m entered into the regular poster session? No. Free registration is only provided to the first 20 students who entered the student poster competition.
