The ICSA 2020 Applied Statistics Symposium is pleased to invite submissions for poster presentations and poster award competitions. This new poster session provides an excellent channel to allow the presenters to introduce your work and have plenty of virtual interactions with the audience via our modern conference portal.
- More than 50 keynote speakers, senior invited speakers, ICSA leaders, Symposium committee members, senior statisticians, leaders and faculty members from academia, industry and government agencies will serve as the judges for poster award competitions.
- Posters will be judged by experts. Presenters also have ample opportunities to have face-to-face discussions
and interactions with expert judges, audience and potential job employers. - A dedicated time slot and virtual venue have been assigned to the poster session and you will interact with a
broader audience via the conference web portal. - The traditional contributed sessions for oral presentation are removed. All the contributed papers will be converted to poster presentation. We expect to have 80-100 posters.
The virtual poster session is scheduled from 6:00-9:30PM on Monday, Dec 14, 2020.
