Posters

iConference poster sessions provide an opportunity for present and future thought-leaders to display and discuss their research with key members of the information field. We welcome submissions of posters presenting new work, preliminary results and designs, or educational projects. Submitted posters must be original work, not published elsewhere.

First submissions will consist of a poster proposal. After reviews are complete, accepted authors will then create a final graphical poster for presentation at the iConference.

Presentation

All accepted posters will be presented virtually during iConference 2024 on the SCOOCS platform. Similar to research papers, they will be presented one-at-a-time in a series of individual presentations. Presentation instructions will be provided with acceptance notifications. All authors who presented online will also have the opportunity to present at the on-site program.

Publication

Accepted completed posters and final poster abstracts will be published in the IDEALS open repository. Authors are also allowed to deposit their work into their school's institutional repository if they so choose.

Best Paper Award

The best Poster will be awarded with a sum of $300.
