Talks and Posters

Two lightning talk sessions are included in the 2026 MSR Workshop.

1. Tuesday: This session has 6 slots to provide 5-minute highlights of technology updates.
2. Wednesday: This session previews the evening’s poster session. Participants will have a 2-3 minute timeslot to present 1 slide (must be signed up for poster session)

The interest in lightning talks is anticipated to exceed available spots. The Program Committee will down select and notify participants of selections. Preference will be given to technical submissions of close interest to the MSR community while balancing broad technical and organizational participation.

A poster session during Wednesday’s working dinner is another opportunity to present your work and engage meeting participants. Participation is limited to 50 posters.

Poster Requirements:

• Must be A0 size or smaller (33.1 in wide x 46.8 in tall) (841 mm wide x 1189 mm tall)
• Posters must be formatted to portrait layout (the height of the poster is greater than its width).
• Participants are responsible for bringing their posters and taking their poster with them after the event.
• Please drop off your poster at the registration desk. We will mount your poster to boards using pins.
