Thank you to all poster fair presenters from the 2019 NAFSA Annual Conference & Expo in Washington, D.C. To recognize all of the time and effort put into poster fair presentations, we asked poster fair attendees to vote for the best posters in each of this year's poster fairs. 

Attendees voted for their favorites in two categories: Best Visual Presentation and Best Content Delivery. Voting was based on the following criteria:

Best Visual Presentation:

• Is the presentation easy to understand by looking at the graphics?
• Is the information on the poster easy to follow?

Best Content Delivery:

• Did the presenter(s) seem prepared to discuss their topic?
• Was the presentation interactive and conversational?

Congratulations
