Information for Authors of Accepted Posters and Notes

Thank you for being a part of the IEEE RFID 2016 Poster and Demo session! New for 2016, authors of Notes and Posters will display their work in the poster session on the tradeshow floor of RFID Journal LIVE!  This information is provided to help you prepare for the Poster and Demo Session.

Authors of accepted Notes: You do not need to do anything extra – you are already registered for the Poster session.

Authors of accepted Posters: Please follow the steps above to upload your final, revised 2-page extended abstract. If you are having trouble embedding fonts, please contact the poster chair. Additionally, you must fill out the poster session authorization form, which is provided in the acceptance email.

Poster and Demo Session Schedule

  • The Poster and Demo Session will be held on Wednesday, May 4th from 2:30pm – 4:15pm EDT (14:30 – 16:15 EDT). The student competition and networking dinner will immediately follow the poster session. All accepted Notes and accepted Poster submissions will present a poster during this time.
  • You may setup your poster during the lunch break on Wednesday May 4th. Contact the poster chair if you would prefer to set up your poster earlier in the day.
  • All posters must remain on display until Thursday, May 5th at 2pm. You may tear down your poster between 2:00pm and 3:00 pm on May 5th. All posters must be removed by 3:00 pm.
  • During the Opening Plenary session on Wednesday, May 4th (8:30 – 10:00am EDT), authors of accepted Notes and accepted Posters will have an opportunity to tell all conference attendees about your work and generate interest in your poster or demo! However, you will only have *30 seconds* for your Teaser Talk, so please prepare ahead of time!

Instructions for all poster presenters

  • Authors of accepted Poster or Notes entries are required to print their own poster and bring it to the conference venue. We will provide a 40 inch x 30 inch (101 cm x 76 cm) display area and you will be scheduled for presentation during the conference on the industry tradeshow floor. PLEASE BE AWARE THIS IS NOT AN ‘A0’ SIZE DISPLAY AREA and scale your poster appropriately before printing.
  • Each accepted Poster or Note must be posted in the display area and presented for discussion during the poster session. The poster presenter must be an author of the poster and that author must be registered for the conference based on their IEEE membership status: Member, Life/Retired/Student, or Non-Member. Once an author of an accepted Paper or Note has registered for the conference at the full member or non-member fee, it is not necessary to register again for one accepted Poster or Note display. Early (discounted) registration ends March 19.
  • Authors of accepted Posters must fill out the poster session authorization form, which is provided in the acceptance email. This step is not required for authors of accepted Notes.
  • Abstracts of accepted Posters will be included in the IEEE RFID 2016 digital conference proceedings which attendees of IEEE RFID 2016 receive. These abstracts will not be archived on IEEE Xplore as the poster session is not peer reviewed.
  • All accepted Posters and Notes will be considered for the Best Poster award to be determined by attendees of the Poster Session.
  • For authors presenting demonstrations, we will provide power strips (US 110V/60Hz mains power) and a 6-foot (1.8m) table.
