There are two poster sessions each conference day (Oct. 19- Oct. 21):
afternoon hybrid poster session (EST 15-17) and
evening repeat virtual poster session
(EST 20-22), including the same group of posters assigned that day, and
you are expected to present in both sessions.
In the afternoon poster session (hybrid, EST 15-17):
For authors who CAN physically attend the conference, you are expected to
prepare a printed poster (maximum dimensions is 70in (W) x 48in (H) (180cm
x 120cm) horizontal format) (
Optional template poster from CVPR 2021
), stand at your poster, present your work and discuss with onsite
participants, during the entire afternoon poster session/period (EST 15-17)
to which you are assigned. For the sanitary reasons, we limit one poster
per board. Please use large fonts (minimum of 32 points) so that your
poster can be viewed at a distance (at least 6 feet). Try to minimize the
amount of text on your poster and use visuals/graphics when possible.
Should you need local printing, please email General Chairs (
icmi2021-general-chairs@acm.
org
) for consulting.
For authors who remotely attend the conference, you need connect to the
virtual platform and present your poster there for remote participants. A
virtual booth will be assigned to each virtual poster. The presenter will
have the ability to share her/his screen with the virtual audience near the
booth. The presenter can do short presentations several times using a
couple of slides to briefly explain the research, but a long presentation
should be avoided. They can also have a single poster, zooming in the part
that they are presenting. The virtual platform will allow the participants
to seamlessly hop between virtual poster booths.
In the evening repeat poster session ( virtual only, EST
20-22):
For both in person or remote participation, posters will be presented
together ONLY virtually in the conference platform. That means if you
attend physically, besides the printed poster for afternoon session, you
will also present posters in evening virtual poster session with other
remote presenters for remote audience. If you attend remotely, you present
your posters online in both afternoon and evening poster session the same
day to which you are assigned. Each presenter for all posters should
connect to the virtual platform and participate in their session. A virtual
booth will be assigned to each poster. The presenter will have the ability
to share her/his screen with the virtual audience near the booth. The
presenter can do short presentations several times using a couple of slides
to briefly explain the research, but a long presentation should be avoided.
They can also have a single poster, zooming in the part that they are
presenting. The virtual platform will allow the participants to seamlessly
hop between virtual poster booths.

the conference period.

mins' presentation + 3 mins' Q&A) in the corresponding blue sky paper session.
- For authors who CANNOT physically attend the conference, you are expected to give a live talk online (10
mins' presentation + 3 mins' Q&A) in the corresponding blue sky paper session.

can play the prerecorded video for the paper.
In this special session, moderator will briefly introduce session to start (2-3 mins). Each of the three paper
presenters give a 10-min live talk either onsite or online. At the end of each talk, moderator will ask speaker
a couple of talk-specific questions (3 mins). At the end of talks, there is open discussion with audience asking
general questions (15-20 mins).
