> work. Evaluation posters will be gathered into one section of the poster
> room. If you have other topics to discuss, you can still contribute a
> poster!  We also expect some excellent posters from education, IT, and the

> prize will be given to the poster that offers the best demonstration of ESIP
> Federation collaboration. The second is the Theme prize, again voted on by
> people in the room. The Theme prize is given to the poster that best fits
> the meeting theme. ESIP Federation will cast votes in the event of a tie.
> Prizes will be awarded, as will recognition in the post-meeting newsletter.
