There are places where we wouldn't be able to do that in the break room / area (i.e., we would have to dedicate a room to posters, merely to keep them from being removed at night). That seems like too much process to me. My feeling is that one day for a poster session is enough (possibly with different sessions on different days). You can buzz through a set of uninteresting posters amazingly fast. Regards Marshall > >> Also, this puts another constraint on choosing a venue.
