We hope all conferees will consider presenting their research in a poster. Poster-boards will be setup in the Exhibition Hall and on display during the entire conference. Update - you can see a list of the current poster titles and abstracts here.
Awards will be presented at the conference's closing banquet for the best posters by students and professionals. All the conferees can vote in both categories.
The spirit of the conference is to encourage active, open dialog in the community. In that spirit, neither posters, oral presentations, nor abstracts will be published by the IDRC or CNIRS. Summary information provided by authors will be available at the conference in a handout. Of course, authors are free to publish elsewhere as they choose.
If you plan to display a poster, please notify the Poster Chairman, David Semmes, idrc.posters@cnirs.org, by July 15, 2016. Later notifications will be accepted. Please include the poster title, authors, author affiliation, whether senior researcher or student, and a short, 50-100 word description of the research. The maximum poster size is 120 cm X 120 cm.
