Hi Sarah
This sounds like it would be a very useful thing to go to, but I¹m stuck in far-away Melbourne so I won¹t be able to come.
If you or one of your students were planning to write a summary or a ³top 10 list of poster making suggestions² then I (and I think a lot of ASC members) would find it valuable, especially those of us like me who work with PhD students in academic departments where the students have very little experience in making posters. Maybe something in the style of http://www.asc.asn.au/2010/04/getting-started/ – but shorter?
Perhaps you could even arrange for it to be put on to the ASC website so that it was easily find-able?
Anyway, hope the session goes well.
Regards
Mick Moylan.
