Hi, we at CERN had a discussion about proposing a poster session next year and personally I like the idea. The only problem - most of the people have no experience in making a poster and It is quite different from holding a presentation. Nevertheless +1 :-)
by the way: there was the idea of making a conference poster (like for other science conferences). It could be printed by our printing service and then distributed...
