Hummm... I think that'd be a bit overbending for Penta, although it
could work. The thing is, the poster sessions will be held during a
single "event" (that is, during an alloted timespan - 2hr
perhaps?). The accepted "talks" for the poster sessions will not be
scheduled by themselves, only listed as part of the (single)
session. And although it could be managed as a track... Well, it does
not have to have thematic coherency (which is our definition for
tracks). I see you are trying with this to group a bit too much based
on some coincidences.
I'd rather suggest the poster coordinator set up a separate paper
submission system, and then register a single (long) session in Penta,
including the different files.
(oh, that sounded quite like the whine of a system implementor when
required to do something that breaks logic... Does anybody want to
hack subsessions into Penta? :-} )
