Poster Session

Poster Session

Monday – Wednesday, October 6-8, 2008 • FREE
During show hours
Outside Professional Program Session Area and on Show Floor near the AWS Skills Competition

The AWS Poster Session is an integral part of the Professional Program. Graphic displays of technical achievements are presented for close, first-hand examination in the Poster Session. Posters present welding results and related material, which are best communicated visually, as well as research results that call for close study of photomicrographs, tables, systems architecture, or other illustrative materials. Posters are presented in five categories: Students in a High School Welding Program, Students in a Two-Year College or Certificate Program, Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students, and Professionals. Be sure to stop by and observe this year’s entries.
