CPEG Poster Highlight

This very short presentation will preview your poster and put a face for attendees to your research. You will be given one minute to speak about your one slide to advertise your poster. This will encourage people to go see your poster and know who to talk to during breaks if they are interested in knowing more. You may do anything on that one slide to describe what you are doing regarding the research on your poster. Please do not just repeat your poster. Have some fun with it! Be creative in advertising. It should be a teaser to invite people to see your poster.
