Call for Posters

Here's your chance to be recognized by the forecasting community for your work in the field. Posters are an excellent, low stress venue in which to present your research and innovations. Poster presentations provide an opportunity for forecasting practitioners to present their projects in a one-to-one setting and receive professional feedback from leaders in the field of forecasting.

The F2007 Poster session is open to all practitioners — from corporate or academic fields.

Posters will be located in a common area and will be 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.
