Why Present a Poster?
Posters are a lightweight way to attract the attention of conference attendees. A poster can present a work in progress, some recent thinking or even invite answers to a question. Suitable topics for posters include: a new technique you've found; a new application of an old technique; lessons you learned on your most recent project; a tool you have been developing; a question you would like answered by the audience; a survey for the audience to complete; a disruptive idea you think will challenge the audience's preconceptions.

Format
Use a mix of any or all of...
- T-Shirts: Wear your poster on your back during the conference to break the ice and start conversations. We will arrange printing the poster onto the shirt.
- Interactive Posters: Design a poster that the audience will contribute to. We will hang a marker pen beside the poster to allow anybody to fill in the gaps.
- Coffee Talk: Stand beside your poster during coffee breaks to discuss it with passers by.
- Something Else: Surprise us with an innovative idea for a poster format
Posters will be put up on large boards, about the size of three flip-charts next to each other, so you will need to think about how to layout and print your material.
