Get a bigger venue

Another in our continuing series of, “Please don’t do this, conference organizers.”

Although this is a bit of an old picture I found while cleaning out my inbox, I wanted to bring this to the fore because I recently heard of other meetings that are trying some version of this.

It’s clearly an awful format. The point of an in person meeting is to facilitate conversations. This fails to do that. How are you supposed to find the person whose poster this is if you have questions?

“Demoralizing,” as one attendee called it.
