2018 Call For Posters
Innovative Idea and Research Poster Sessions

Deadline: Friday, October 27, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. EST

Poster abstracts which report a completed idea, research, concept, or innovation that have not been previously reported at any AAAE Regional Agricultural Education Research Conference or the National AAAE Research Conference will be considered for acceptance.  All abstract submissions will be peer reviewed.

Poster abstracts must be authored or co-authored by AAAE members.  Membership is verified using the Membership Directory on the AAAE site.  Please check your membership status several weeks in advance of the submission deadline.

Two poster session categories will be held for 2018 -- Innovative Idea and Research. Innovative Idea posters must be a new idea or the creative modification of an existing idea. Research posters must be related to a problem, demonstrate a need for research, and implement the research process. With both categories, the innovative idea or research must be implemented prior to submission.

Poster narratives in each category must be of potential regional or national significance focusing in the areas of teaching, communications, extension and/or leadership. A peer review evaluation process will be used based on the established evaluation forms.

Once accepted, authors will be notified and posters will be presented at the AAAE Southern Region Conference in Mobile, AL.  Evaluation of both poster types – innovative and research – will be completed using a “People’s Choice” format.
