Poster Sessions

Conference participants are invited to submit proposals of posters for display in the poster exhibition area. We encourage this form of participation as a means of presenting projects that use technology in both mathematical research and mathematics education.

Poster presenters should consider using both textual and visual means of presentation in their posters. Detailed instructions can be found here. Proposals from students are welcome too. Presentation of posters will be scheduled in parallel along with other paper presentations.
