Poster Slam Instructions:
We will be running a Poster Slam at ICIS this year.
The Poster Slam will take place on Monday, December 11th, from 14:00 – 15:30 (Group A) and Tuesday, December 12th, from 14:00 – 15:30 (Group B)with each group have 88 papers. So, each paper has a minute and the session have extra TWO minutes!
For those of you who have not participated in a poster slam, it can be a whole lot of fun for the presenters and for the audience—if it goes smoothly and efficiently.
The goal of the Poster Slam is to advertise of your poster and NOT to present your research! This is your chance to convince the audience to come to your poster displayduring the poster session, which will follow immediately after the Slam.
The poster slam is a rapid-fire succession of <1 minute pitches. To advertise your poster you need to prepare exactly 1 slide. During, the slam, when your 1 minute is up, we will automatically switch over to the next presenter’s slide. Please practice your talk to make sure you deliver your “sales pitch” in less than 1 minute.
The order of poster presentations is listed in the program (sorted by track first, and then by manuscript ID). During the Slam, please keep track of where we are on the schedule.There will be two microphones for poster slammers. When your talk is the presentation-after-next, please come up and take the microphone from the presenter who is finishing.
Each Poster Slam Session has a session chair who will auto-advance your slide after 1 minute has elapsed (they will be merciless!).
Slide Preparation and Formatting: You need to prepare your 1 Microsoft PowerPoint slide advertising the poster and email it to Xinyu Li ()no later than Saturdaymorning (December 9th at 9am Seoul Local Time). Xinyu will compile the slides into one big presentation for each session that will be clicked through during the poster slam. The slide has to project equally well on a Mac or PC computer. NO ANIMATION. We are enclosing a sample PPT template. If you do not email your slide by the deadline or violate formatting instructions, you will not be included in the Slam session.If you send more than 1 slide, only the first slide will be included in the Slam.
Here is an example of an effective Poster Slam presentation by Pinar Ozturk (Stevens Institute of Technology) from the Workshop on Information in Networks (WIN). She agreed to for us to share her presentation video, which is succinct, clear, and informative. We encourage you to take a look at her video, as an example:
Tricks of the Trade:In our experience with poster-slam presentations, the best approach is to spend half the time on motivation (why this problem?) and half the time on the coolest/most puzzling result. Giving technical details does not work so well.
Poster Session
Immediately following the Poster Slam, on Monday, December 11th, 16:00 – 17:30 (for Group A),and on Tuesday, December 12th, 16:00 – 17:30 (Group B), there will be a poster session held at the Hallway. Please proceed to your posters in the Forum and meet attendees interested in discussing your work further.
Posters should be taken down on by 18pm on each day. If you do not come down and pick up your poster by that time, it will be recycled.
