My idea would be that the pinboards for the posters are available from day one
onwards and people with a poster can put it up on Sunday.  Folks can come and
watch.  Select 2 or 3 coffee breaks where the person presenting the poster
must be near his poster for questions and discussion.

As far as I remember Anaheim: it did have a few hallways between meeting
rooms and coffee pot.  Sounds like an ideal place for a poster session.
Beijing had the same options.
