  • 4/17/2026: "2026 Showroom Poster Submission"
    • Showcase Poster Template
      • Generally, organize in 3 columns and use bullets/figures/pictures, instead of long sentences--think what a judge would want to see/know. I suggest:
      • a. Goal and Motivation: Why is your project interesting/useful/important potentially for a large group of people (not just you)? What are the "pains"/problems that your system is designed to help solve?
      • b. Approach/Features: With your system, what can the users do (ie. accomplished key features/functionalities)? Bullets with screenshots/pictures/...
      • c. Design/Implementation: How did you accomplish your system? System architecture, algorithms, tools, ...
      • d. Evaluation Results: How well does your system function? "measurement of success"--performance/speed/accuracy/userSurveys/...
      • e. Limitations and Improvements: What can't the system do? How can the system be improved?
  • 4/23/2026, 9am - 4pm: Check postor location and set up exhibit.
  • 4/24/2026, 8:30am - 3:45pm: Showcase; 4pm Award Ceremony (Gleason); 5-7pm afterparty (Crawford Greens)
    • presentation in 5-10 minutes (sections similar to my suggestions for the poster), including live/video demo(s)
    • large-screen display and extension cord
    • dress is "business casual/formal or team attire", wear comfortable shoes (you will be standing)
    • if you are looking for a job, bring a few resumes
    • at least one member should be there, no need to skip classes
    • if none is available, put up a sign to say at what time you are available
  • 4/25/2025, 10am-3pm: Discovery Day and taking down exhibit
  • Virtual Showroom
