A poster session sounds cool, but it works well when the presenters are
companies, rather than individuals. To get a good A0 poster, you need access
to printing services (which are not cheap, but doable) and graphic design
talent, which is neither cheap nor common in IETF attendees. To get such a
poster up, I would need either my company's sponsorship, or else use my own
talents in graphic design: Hmm, #12FF12. Now there's a nice shade of green
for a background. As for fonts, let's go with Mistral, because

Conferences (IEEE, ACM, ...) routinely have poster sessions, with mostly
academic participation. Well-funded universities spend $50 at the local print
shop or have an in-house large-size printer; not-so-well-funded universities
simply print a dozen letter-size sheets and attach them to the board.
