POSTERS
Poster sessions showcase some of the most important and innovative work being done in Classics. There should be no difference in quality between poster/demo presentations and papers, and the format for proposals is the same for both. The same academic standards also apply, but posters may be more suitable way for late-breaking work, or work in progress. The choice between the two modes of presentation (poster/demo or paper) should depend on the most effective and informative way of communicating the content of the proposal.
Poster presentations are less formal and more interactive than talks. Poster presenters can present their work and exchange ideas one-on-one and in detail with those most deeply interested. Presenters will have board space for display and may
also wish to provide handouts. Posters remain on display throughout the
conference, and are the sole focus of separate dedicated poster sessions.
