Poster Showcase

Practitioners, Academics and Students participated in the Poster Showcase in both the competitive and non-competitive divisions. The participants in the competitive division showcased their posters during an evaluation session before a group of judges on Monday evening during the Annual Conference. The participants were evaluated on the content and display of their poster, as well as their oral presentation of research and findings.
