for best poster
Poster presentations will be selected by review of the following materials,
which will be considered final and need to be received
in totality electronically to symposium
@pmiglc.org by April 10, 2007, along with a completed
Poster Presenter Proposal Form.

What is a Poster?
A poster is a visual presentation that can be as large as 44 inches
wide and 44 inches high that is displayed at the symposium. With a title,
author and affiliation, text and illustrations (which can be photos,
drawings, diagrams, tables, figures), a poster is intended to make an
original contribution to attendees of the symposium in an area related
to project management.
During the morning and afternoon breaks on the day of the symposium,
the poster author will be present at the poster, and be able to present
and engage with poster attendees in further discussions about the topic
of the poster. This is a great way to have an informal exchange about
project management topics!
You will meet new people who share your interests and your contribution
will rev up both their skills and yours!
How to Submit a Poster
A poster author needs to submit the poster in its final format electronically
as part of the submission, review, and selection process
by April 10, 2007. If a poster consists of multiple smaller
displays the sequence must be clear from the electronic
submission.
What are Poster topics?
The key to a good poster is that it is real, relates
to Project Management in a unique, original, and practical
way. A recent project management breakthrough, accomplishment,
example of how a skill was developed, shared, or applied
and the benefits and challenges, lessons learned from
a specific project situation, are all possible types
of posters. One good idea that you think other PMs will
be interested in is plenty! Here are some same topics:
• Global outsourcing project experiences
• Managing timelines in critical projects
• Importance of training in project management
• Managing global workforce in projects
• Managing multiple projects
• Risk Management in mission critical projects
• Effective Change Management
• Contract Management
• Project Management techniques - Dos and
Don'ts
What are the Physical Requirements of a Poster?
• The poster must by a maximum of 44 inches
by 44 inches with a firm backing so it can rest on a
free-standing standard size easel. It must be a single
display. This can be accomplished by attaching 8.5 x
11-inch sheets to a foam board.

poster and the materials to attach it before the beginning
