I had proposed earlier and on the wiki that an invite to take part in the poster session be sent to all once the final presentation selection was complete. I don't see why a selected presentation should not also have the opportunity to produce a poster?<div>

Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
Perhaps we can add about poster session in the press<br>
release. I think the poster can be selected from<br>
rank 85 to rank 125<br>
<br>
"Community participation in the abstract selection was impressive, with over 150 community members selecting 85 general and 40 poster track abstracts from the 183 submitted and a further 12 academic abstracts selected by 52 academic peers."<br>
<br>
Best regards<br><font color="#888888">

I've drafted a press release announcing the abstract selection at:<br>
<br>
We should finalise this by tomorrow (Tuesday) so that we can give translators a week to translate it.<br>
