Poster & Demo Reception Awards

The Demo and Poster Reception (Tuesday, 11th June) features innovative research ideas, preliminary results, system prototypes, industry showcases, late-breaking results and project presentations through poster and demos submitted to the UMAP conference at the corresponding tracks and workshops.

To acknowledge the authors’ effort in designing their posters and/or setting up their demos, we invite the audience to vote for the best posters and demos.

During the reception, between 16:30 and 18:30, UMAP attendees can cast their votes. At the end of the reception, the box will be opened and the winners will be announced. They will receive a certificate during the Social Dinner.

These are the awards that UMAP participants can vote for:

  • Best Poster Design: select the poster you like most the visual design and information distribution.
  • Most Participative Demo: select the demo in which you felt more engaged when interacting with it.
  • Most Inspiring Contribution (either demo or poster): select the contribution which has given you the more interesting research idea to be taken into account in further research.
