Call for Posters

Here's your chance to be recognized by the analytics community for your work in the field.

Poster presentations provide an excellent opportunity for analytics practitioners to present their projects and receive professional feedback from leaders in the field of analytics.

Any analytics practitioner from the corporate or academic fields may submit a poster for A2009. Posters will be located centrally in the conference area and be accessible throughout the conference.
