There will be no 'paper/hard copy' poster presentations at SMIT 2012. The conference will feature electronic posters, which will be presented on several plasma screen terminals located in the exhibition area. The organizers believe that this forum will make the poster presentations more visible to the conference audience and avoid the need for participants to travel with bulky posters. The posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference.
When you receive notification that your poster has been accepted, you will be sent instructions to assist you in the preparation of your electronic poster presentation.
