This summer, Oskar, Ankit, Professor Kun, and I had a poster submission accepted at the Ubicomp 2009 conference. Unfortunately Ankit could not make it, since he was back in India for school. The rest of us and Zeljko attended the conference. During the conference, there was a 2 hour period where Posters, Videos, and Demos were displayed. During this time, Oskar and I, stood by the poster and presented our project to any interested attendees, and there were plenty. Zeljko stood nearby at his own poster. It was a great learning experience, to interact with the other researchers and present our work to them. The other attendees also had some good advice on other areas our project could be applied, or projects with similar goals that might be helpful. Oskar and I also took turns ‘manning the post(er)’ so that we could each see the other projects on display. Below is a picture of an interested researcher at our poster.
Overall, the conference was really awesome, and it was great to experience both the research presentations and community.

Yes, this really was a fun conference. The posters turned out very nicely too.

I agree. Poster presentations are always fun, because you get a chance to talk to people with different interests and backgrounds. This way new ideas may arise.
