We further encourage attendees to look over the lists of posters that will be presented during the two poster sessions at the iConference: session 1 <https://www.conftool.com/iConference2015/index.php?page=browseSessions&form_session=28> and session 2 <https://www.conftool.com/iConference2015/index.php?page=browseSessions&form_session=54>.
