October 2, 2025: GV Technology Summit

• You must make your poster by using the GV Technology Summit Presentation Template (read the presentation file instructions before creating your poster).
• All posters must be uploaded here no later than September 12, 2025. 
• Posters will be printed at no cost to you.
• Event staff will place your poster on an easel in your assigned space on the morning of the Summit.
• A small or large table can be provided for you with a linen.  Please designate if you need one on the Poster Submission Form. 
• Your poster should be technical enough to excite an expert, but not create a vortex of confusion—the idea is to start a conversation where you can go into more detail.
• Be sure to include the goal(s) of the project—what specifically are you trying to accomplish? Other components may include:
  • Relevant information about the impetus for this work
  • Theory of change or changes introduced to reach your aim
  • What you have learned as a result of your efforts
• Use your poster as a prop for more engaged conversation—do not include every detail of your project in the poster.
