GSL EXPO2025 FAQ

1. What's the "GSL EXPO"?

The GSL EXPO is an annual lab-wide poster event designed to showcase recent scientific and non-scientific achievements, share innovative ideas, highlight new research and tools, and promote potential collaborations.

2. When and where will the GSL EXPO2025 be held?

GSL EXPO 2025 will be held on Wednesday, February 26th, from 1:00 to 3:30 PM at the DSRC 2B Hallway area and online.

3. When is the poster registration deadline?

February 14, 2025 Friday

4. How do I register a poster for this event?

Please visit this link to register.

NOTE:

  • (1). It is better to register as soon as possible since currently we can only accommodate around 65 in-person posters (with a potential overflow of about 10 more). Early registration will help us plan accordingly.
  • (2) You don’t need to have a poster ready at the time of registration. Simply provide preliminary information when registering. You can update the details and upload a digital copy later.
  • (3). One poster per person
  • (4). Poster locations in the 2B area are numbered. You may walk around, check the poster labels near your office, and request a nearby poster number. We will consider your request but cannot guarantee it.
  • (5) Virtual posters do not need to fill in columns C, D, G, H, and I of the registration form.

5. I want to attend the EXPO but will not be presenting a poster. Do I still need to register?

No. Only folks who are planning on presenting a poster need to register. Anyone is welcome to participate as a poster viewer without registering.

6. Why are there two presentation windows on the registration sheet?

There will be two windows available to present posters. The goal of this configuration is to give poster presenters the opportunity to view other posters during the window when they are not presenting.

7. What types of posters can I submit?

Any type of poster is welcome! Whether it's a recent AMS or AGU poster, an important past poster, a new poster showcasing your recent research advances, innovative ideas, or even a non-science poster like one highlighting the NeverBlue group—you name it!

We will collaborate with the GSL poster print service to ensure your posters are printed on time.

8. How is the poster location numbered?

Please refer to the figure: link

9. What will happen to the current posters in the 2B area?

All current posters in the 2B area have been photographed and archived here for reference. Some posters will be retired while some will restored after the EXPO. If you have an old poster and would like to retire it, you can support the EXPO preparations by taking it down before the event.
Regarding which posters will be displayed after the Expo, the Evergreen Leadership team is working with SLT to develop a policy on this and EGLT will update us later.

10. How do I upload my digital poster?
