Poster Symposium

Poster Abstract Submission Deadline - August 12, 2009

The Poster Symposium has been designed to showcase a wide range of projects and programs through current research and field trials, practical applications and innovations, education and outreach and new ideas outside the mainstream of academia and forest practice. Each Symposium is an organized group of 6 to 10 posters around a specific topic and displayed together in the poster area in the Exhibit Hall.

Each poster presenter is assigned a specific time slot to briefly summarize the poster and participate in a moderated question and answer session.

The SAF Forest Science and Technology Board (FS&TB) will be presenting three Student Poster Awards. All interested undergraduate and graduate students who are the primary author of the poster are eligible for the award. Student poster presenters will win awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
