Almost all the Gordon Conferences use posters. Typically, there are several sessions. The Vice Chair of the Conference often takes care of the poster sessions. You should make clear in your mailings whether you will have poster sessions at your meeting, how posters will be solicited, what topics will be grouped together in sessions, and how the posters will be reviewed and grouped for showing. You should work with the Vice-Chair in organizing the poster session so that the overall program of the Conference retains a coherent nature.
Posters are a great way for people to meet and develop social interactions.
Tie posters into the main program. The scheduling of the poster sessions should be related to the other parts of the Conference program. On occasion, a poster session may take the place of all or part of an evening meeting. Formal sessions should not be scheduled during the early afternoon. The posters are generally up for some extended period of time so that conferees may discuss the posters with the author or others.
