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. > Also, this puts another constraint on choosing a venue.

No idea about Beijing. 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.
