Designed to be impactful information sessions on your Fulbright experience, idea, issue and/or research, presenters will visually represent their data and present their content to conference participants.

• Eligible presenters include individual and institutional Fulbright Association members as well as prospective members. Returning Fulbright grantees, students, and teachers should feel welcome to submit proposals in this category.
• Past posters have reflected participants’ Fulbright grant experience/research or other work that they are engaged in, overview of a project, best practices for teaching, photo journals, and outreach efforts both in the U.S. and abroad. Be creative!
• During a dedicated poster session time block, presenters will be available at their posters to discuss their research and/or experience. Attendees can use this one-on-one time with presenters to learn more and ask questions. Presenters, please plan to be on your feet for a significant amount of time.
  
• The Fulbright Association cannot print your poster for you. Please plan to bring your poster with you to the conference.
• The Fulbright Association will provide either a trifold display, bulletin board, or other means by which you can display your poster. Details will accompany notification of acceptance of the proposal for the poster session.

Duration: The poster presentation will be 60 minutes or more, however, posters may remain hanging for the duration of the conference for attendees to see. You are welcome to engage visitors about your research at any time.

These 8-10 minute talks, styled after “Moth Radio” stories, will allow attendees to view the world from the perspective of the presenter. This year, we invite you to submit along the theme of –

RESILIENCE

As we gather together for the first time in two years, we want to hear your stories of hope, of joy, and of triumph. We want to hear about big wins and small feats, about significant journeys and about what went right today. This year, Fulbright Talks is all about those moments of victory—those times when the struggle was worth it, hardship was defeated, and successes achieved.

• Proposals should relate to the conference theme and be organized around a topic that will have wide appeal to the Fulbright community.
• WiFi and projectors will be available for these sessions.
