Poster Presentations

We are delighted that, as part of the SLSA 2019, academics and postgraduate researchers will be showcasing
their work through the poster presentations. During the conference, posters will be available for viewing in
Parkinson Court. This is the same venue where lunch and tea/coffee will be served, so that attendees can
take the opportunity to explore presenters’ work during break periods.

As in previous years, there is a specific poster competition for postgraduate researchers, and the winner will
be announced at the conference dinner. We are very grateful that Wiley Publishing has generously offered
to sponsor this year’s contest with a book voucher prize. Judging will take place on Thursday 4th April
10.30am-11.30am.
