I don't agree that the costs are zero. You can't have the poster session last
all week long, because the presenter may want to go to other sessions. So we
need about 2 hours reserved for this. Maybe a morning session.

My idea would be that the pinboards for the posters are available from day one
onwards and people with a poster can put it up on Sunday.  Folks can come and
watch.  Select 2 or 3 coffee breaks where the person presenting the poster
must be near his poster for questions and discussion.

Also, this puts another constraint on choosing a venue.  You need an area
with room for lots of people, and space to put the "booths" or "desks" all
around. For example, Anaheim did not have a good area to hold a poster
session. Maastricht did. No idea about Beijing.

As far as I remember Anaheim: it did have a few hallways between meeting
rooms and coffee pot.  Sounds like an ideal place for a poster session.
Beijing had the same options.
