How can I insert a graphic on the right edge of the title section, without de-centering the title text? My code is below (apologies for posting the entire code; I couldn't figure out a MWE):

\begin{alertblock}{What is a multi-word expression?}
A \textit{multi-word expression} (MWE) is a word collocation that exhibits markedly peculiar
linguistic behavior in terms of lexicalization, syntax or semantics. (Kunchukuttan 2007) \\
~\\
In other words: \\
$\mathrm{def}(word_{1}) \;+ \;\mathrm{def}(word_{2}) \neq \mathrm{def}(word_{1}+word_{2})$

% MWEs IN SPEECH
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{block}{MWEs in Speech}
MWEs are theorized to be stored and retrieved as a single lexical unit (Wray 2005). Often,
the pause length is longer surrounding an MWE, and shorter within an MWE. (Dahlmann \& Adolphs 2007)

\begin{itemize}
\item Typists pause for significantly shorter lengths of time in the middle of MWEs
\item While slow typists were 4x slower than fast typists outside of an MWE, the two groups were much closer within MWEs
\item Slow L1 English speakers are slower than slow L2 English speakers

Best Answer
Title format is defined in
headlinetemplate inbeamerthemeconfposter.styfile. The original one is defined aswhere you can see how the title is defined inside a
columnwhich occupies total poster width (\linewidth). If you want to include an image on right side while keeping a central and centered title, you can divide this space in three columns, one empty on the left side, the title on the second and the third one for the image.If first and third columns use the same size, the second one will be centred. This is what is done in next code
