DELEGATE INFORMATION
The YP Conference will feature engaging presentations and poster sessions, providing participants with a dynamic platform to share and discuss their work.
All participants are expected to provide a short "PechaKucha" Style presentation on a research topic or project, to generate interest for the poster sessions to follow. Non-technical topics related to the fields of geotechnical engineering or geosciences will also be accepted and are encouraged. The presentation length will be determined following registration but will be 3 minutes with auto-advancing slides every 30 seconds.
After the presentations, the poster sessions provide a more interactive platform for delegates to showcase their projects and research in greater detail. These sessions allow for networking, exchanging ideas, and engaging in discussions with peers.
To help you prepare for the conference please review the resources below. These resources offer valuable guidelines and tips to ensure your presentation and poster are engaging and effective.
