Poster Guidelines

Authors of each accepted paper must bring a printed poster to the workshop, which will be used for discussions during the poster sessions.

Please see the schedule of poster presentations here.

Poster sessions are interactive events where authors present their research visually on posters. See some examples of posters from ISMIR 2024 here. These sessions allow for direct interaction between the authors and attendees, fostering in-depth discussions and feedback. Attendees can walk around, view the posters, and engage with the authors to ask questions and discuss the research. Additionally, authors may use their laptops to run demos or show examples related to their paper.

The final PDF version of the poster should be uploaded to Microsoft CMT as Supplementary Material by December 2, 2024 (AoE).
