Lightning Talks and PostersICER 2021

Accepted Papers

Call for Participation

This track offers another, different way of presenting research at ICER. Posters and lightning talks provide opportunities for discussion of work, beyond a focus on final results. Rather, posters and lightning talks are perfect options for researchers with work at any phase. This track allows researchers to garner feedback, gain exposure, practice presenting, and recruit collaborators within the structure of the conference.

We allow, and encourage, participation in both tracks to provide optimal opportunities to the presenters. Lightning talks are short talks given to all participants in the conference, and can serve as an advertisement for visiting a poster. Posters can allow presenters to get into more detail with a smaller group. With ICER 2021 being virtual, presenters that give a lightning talk without a poster may face challenges with having more discussions about their work after the talk, since it’s notably more difficult to find a speaker afterwards to ask questions over the coffee break. Conversely, with our virtual conference last year, we found lightning talks to be good launching points for posters, so attendees had a sense of what posters to visit. However, we are not requiring submissions to both posters and lightning talks; we share these thoughts so researchers can make an informed decision about how they want to share their work.

NOTES:

1. Work already being presented at ICER (i.e., accepted research papers, WIP, doctoral consortium submissions) is ineligible for either the posters session or the lightning talks session.
2. All submissions will be editorially reviewed (Submissions will be considered by the session co-chairs in consultation with conference chairs). This means that submissions need not be anonymized.

POSTER SUBMISSION TEMPLATE

B) Phase of work at time of presentation will be:

• initial idea
• working on research design
• some data collected
• pilot study completed

• paper written but unpublished
• unpublished CER tool
• other (please explain)

C) My goal in presenting this poster is:

• Solicit feedback from the community regarding a CER project
• Present a new tool, technique, or methodology
• Present unpublished results of ongoing work
