Include poster presentations in my SOP?

Would it be wise to include poster presentations in my SOP even though they were not presented at renowned conferences?

Any advice would be appreciated! :)

Nope, that sort of thing belongs on your CV. Even if they don't ask for one you should send it or upload it under 'other materials' on the application site.

You can mention poster presentations if you are already using a sentence to talk about other presentations or outcomes. For example, if you are writing about the outcomes of a project and you say something like "I gave an oral presentation about this work at Student Meeting X", you can then append something like "and a poster presentation at Regional Conference Y". Or if you are using some space to discuss presentation experience, you can just mention that you have presented posters. But you can also not include this information and just leave it in the CV.

Yes, sorry, I agree with this, but as for explicit mentions just for the sake of them... skip that and put it in your CV instead.
