Bring your poster to the Queen's Learning Commons, Stauffer Library before 9:00 am on Thursday, March 8, 2018 to ensure that it is displayed by the time the conference begins at 9:30 am.
You must be at your poster on Friday, March 9, 11:30 am - 1:00 pm when we will have "Lunch with the Posters". You do not have to make a formal presentation. This will be a very busy event and many people will come to see the posters and talk to you about your research.
The posters will be put up at 9:30 am on March 8, 2018 in the Queen's Learning Commons, Stauffer Library. This will be done by Library staff. Your poster will have the same number that it has in the program. Ideally, the posters will stay up for March Break Open House (when prospective Queen's students visit). If you need your poster before this date you may come and take it.
If you would like your poster to be considered for inclusion on the I@Q website please email a copy to iatq@queensu.ca.
