Posters

After a successful introduction last year, the Posters program is once again returning to SIGGRAPH. The Posters program is a presentation forum modeled after those used in scientific research conferences.
With a focus on research projects, the Posters format calls for participants to mount physical posters that summarize their work on a wall. The Posters are displayed throughout the conference week, allowing conference attendees to browse through them to quickly get an idea of some of the newest or lesser known projects underway in the research world. If something of particular interest catches their eye, they can return to the poster area to chat with the poster's author during the one or more scheduled meeting times allotted to each author.
The value of the Posters program is that it provides a useful, alternative forum to the SIGGRAPH Papers program for communicating important research information. Newly developing projects, smaller works, incremental or partial results, and late-breaking research are all good candidates for Posters even though they might not qualify for a formal paper or be able to meet the early submission deadlines required of papers.
In addition, because the Posters format can accommodate hundreds of posters if necessary, the program is able to be a more inclusive venue, expanding the number of people able to participate in the computer graphics and interactive techniques research community.
