About the Author

This is a great resource for the uninitiated and a good guide even for the veteran presenter.


— David Klassen, PhD, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rowan University


I recommend this helpful guide for novice or experienced poster presenters looking for ways to share eloquent, compelling, and memorable ideas to promote the knowledge base and other professional expertise and reputation.


— Liat Gafni Lachter, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, Lecturer Online Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, Boston University


An excellent, easy to read, comprehensive book, full of helpful resources and practical suggestions, that guides the reader step by step through the process of developing an idea for a poster session to a successful poster presentation and beyond to future opportunities.


— Lori T. Andersen, EdD, OTR/L, FAOTA, Retired - Associate Professor, Department of Occupational Therapy and Community Health, Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers, Florida


The Little Guide to Giving a Poster Presentation is a very helpful and thorough guide for those unfamiliar with the process. I particularly liked the section on physically presenting the poster at the conference and all the tips for dealing interacting with attendees.


— Ben Finio, PhD, Lecturer, Cornell University


John Bond not only captured all the components of creating the content and physical poster itself, but also the nuanced aspects of poster presentation such as defining a target audience, networking, and funding.


— Emily Compagnoni, RN, BSN, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia


The Little Guide resonates with my poster presentation experiences. It is an excellent guide.
