Poster presentations provide an excellent opportunity for data mining practitioners to present their projects in a one-to-one setting and receive professional feedback from leaders in the field of data mining.The M2008 Poster session is open to all data mining practitioners – from corporate or academic fields.
Posters will be located in the Exhibit Hall and accessible throughout the conference. We request that authors make themselves available during dedicated Exhibit Hall hours to speak with attendees and answer questions. These hours are posted on the agenda (.pdf).
