How to Submit Your Poster

To request a print, email us with:

  • Your PowerPoint or PDF file

  • A short description of the purpose (class, conference, etc.)

We recommend submitting your file at least 48 hours before your event to ensure turnaround time.

Why Academic Posters Matter

Posters are more than visual aids—they’re conversation starters. A well-designed poster can:

  • Communicate your research clearly

  • Invite questions and discussion

  • Enhance your presence at academic events

  • Serve as a lasting representation of your work

Make your research stand out with professional-grade presentation materials.
