One thing I thought of was organizing a poster session where projects
and/or sub-groups (or individuals) could present what they are doing on
a DIN A0 poster during the conference, and have a slot one evening
where they are hanging around their posters so interested people could
discuss/ask questions.
This could be extended so that sponsors from a particular level on are
invited to also have a poster there, and a person handling interest
during the poster session. Of course, commercial posters should
indicated clearly as such.
But maybe this is lower exposure than a regular booth but still helpful
for sponsors.
Thoughts?
