If you were to attend a regional or national conference in a professional organization related to your major, or if you attend a conference or exposition related to something like an Undergraduate Research Opportunites Program (UROP) project, you would most likely see that there is a "Poster Session" as part of that conference or exposition. UROP, for example, lists UROP Presentation Opportunities on their web site, and they go on to offer Guidelines for creating a professional poster

The "elevator speech" should be no longer than 30-60 seconds, and it should cover the main points you are trying to make with your poster presentation. In other real-life poster presentations the basic contents of the "elevator speech" are included on the poster itself, and the creator of the poster may not be present. You may do either a version which includes a (taped) "elevator speech", or a version where you include that information on the poster itself.

One of the goals of the Presentation is to give you some practice informally presenting something you are interested in to a small group. Think giving a brief presentation to a UMD student organization (e.g., MPIRG Links to an external site.) or campus interest group (e.g., Donut Connoisseurs of Duluth Links to an external site.), or to a community organization that you belong to (e.g.s, The Superior Hiking Trail Association Links to an external site., Duluth Community Garden Program Links to an external site.), or something like a student presentation at a state/regional convention of your major (e.g., The Central Sates Anthropological Society Links to an external site.), or something like that.
Another e.g.: If you are thinking about something like a PowerPoint type of Presentation, consider doing the kind of presentation you would do for an organization you are a member of, for something like a "tabling" event at a fundraiser or at something like a recruitment fair.
