Future of Physics Days

APS meeting events for undergraduate students

Future of Physics Days (FPD) events help undergraduate students get the most out of APS meetings through interactive workshops and career development and discovery activities. FPD also offers opportunities for recruiters from graduate schools to showcase the benefits of their programs.

Presentation advice

Review this additional guidance to help shape your presentation.

Your title and abstract are an opportunity for you to catch your audience's attention and give a good first impression of your research.

Designing a compelling poster will engage your audience, accurately present your research, and prepare you for the meeting.

A great poster will attract audiences, but a practiced, well thought out presentation will bring your research to life.
