Every project represented at the meeting must have a poster that is presented by a PI or senior personnel.
Poster titles and abstracts must be submitted during registration. The registration links below will take you to a form and contain instructions for submitting titles and abstracts for a variety of situations.
Posters should be no larger than 3ft (vertically) by 3ft (horizontally), and should be thin and light enough to be pierced by a tack and affixed to a cork board. Previous program attendees have kindly offered to be examples to inspire poster designs. Here is an example of a poster from a Cyberinfrastructure participant. Here is an example of a poster from a CSSI participant. Presenters should print their posters and bring them to the conference, or print them at a local vendor in time for the conference. We will not provide a list of local print vendors.
In addition to presenting a printed copy of the poster, posters must be submitted digitally. Instructions for digitally submitting and archiving posters, and sharing DOIs with us are available in this form. We recommend using Google Chrome to upload posters as other browsers seem to have difficulty with FigShare. Digital poster submissions to FigShare and completion of the linked form must be done BEFORE the meeting.
Please see this spreadsheet for the most up-to-date poster session assignments.
The program took place at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel.
