What is an abstract/proposal and why should I write one?
If you want to submit your paper/research at a conference, you must first write a proposal. A poster proposal tells the conference committee what your poster is about and, depending on the conference guidelines, might include a poster abstract, your list of contributors, and/or presentation needs.
The poster abstract is the most important part of your proposal. It is a summary of your research poster, and tells the reader what your problem, method, results, and conclusions are. Most abstracts are only 75 -- 250 words long.
