Poster & Demonstrator Exhibition

EPoSS Annual Forum 2014_Poster and Demonstrator Exhibition.PNG
The exhibition area will provide a focus for targeted dissemination of funded projects, and will also showcase innovative products - including some Electric Vehicle prototypes - and technologies that will interest and stimulate the Smart Systems community.

We explicitly invite delegates to bring demonstrators, and particularly encourage „live“ demonstrations in the exhibition area.

The poster and demonstrator exhibition is open to all participants throughout the 3-day event. Sufficient time will be allocated on all three days, so that participants can visit the exhibition, and so that exhibitors and interested participants can get involved in dialogue and build business links. Additionally, dedicated slots for guided tours of the exhibition are foreseen.

It is planned to include the poster and demonstrator abstracts in the conference folder. Submission of the following information is therefore mandatory for each poster and demonstrator by 18th July 2014 to (contact@smart-systems-integration.org).

  • an abstract (length: 1500 - 3000 characters)
  • the title
  • key words
  • full contact details of the corresponding author

Since the space for posters and demonstrators is limited, we follow a first come, first serve policy.

Posters should be in A0 portrait format and need to be printed and delivered to the venue on 24th September 2014.

Demonstrators also should be delivered to the venue on 24th September 2014.

Exhibiting and presenting a poster or demonstrator is free of charge for all registered delegates.
