Description
Posters are a way to present late-breaking results, new ideas or concepts in an informal, visual and interactive manner. During the Poster Revolution, attendees will gather into groups around the posters that interest them most. Each presenter will be given a set amount of time to talk about his or her poster, plus a few minutes of questions and answers. At the end of the timeslot, attendees will be directed to the next poster. After one revolution around the room, attendees may go back to any of the posters that they would like to discuss with the presenters. The Poster Revolution is an optional activity for poster presenters, and it takes place during one of the presentation sessions.
