> A poster session sounds cool, but it works well when the presenters are companies, rather than individuals. To get a good A0 poster, you need access to printing services (which are not cheap, but doable) and graphic design talent, which is neither cheap nor common in IETF attendees.  To get such a poster up, I would need either my company's sponsorship, or else use my own talents in graphic design: Hmm, #12FF12. Now there's a nice shade of green for a background. As for fonts, let's go with Mistral, because http://www.cracked.com/funny-5647-fonts .

Conferences (IEEE, ACM, ...) routinely have poster sessions, with mostly academic participation. Well-funded universities spend $50 at the local print shop or have an in-house large-size printer; not-so-well-funded universities simply print a dozen letter-size sheets and attach them to the board.
