The purpose of the Open Poster Session is to further encourage information dissemination and discussion by sharing of: (a) preliminary research that will interest the participants but could not be submitted to the Conference earlier; (b) research that has been previously presented, but in a venue generally not attended by the Conference participants; or (c) research, education and/or commercialization initiatives and ideas that are valuable to the Workshop participants but are not included in the formal program. Open posters that incorporate infomercial and/or advertising will be excluded. Open Posters are scrutinized for appropriateness based on the above listed criteria and will be reviewed by the Technical Chair and the General Chair.

For these Open Posters, we are seeking submission of the PDF version of the ACTUAL poster that you intend to display at the Conference. The poster dimensions should be no larger than 46" (height) x45" (width) and we ask that you submit the scaled down version in PDF so it is visible on screen for review.

Although the accepted Open Posters are not published in the technical digest, your paper title will appear in the program and we are requesting that you upload your accepted poster in the conference app.
