IEEE RISC 2026 Poster Session Instructions for Authors

Authors participating in the poster session are asked to prepare the following:

1. Poster display

  • Please prepare your poster on a tri-fold display board measuring approximately 3' × 4'. Authors are responsible for bringing their own tri-fold display board.
  • A table will be provided at the poster session for displaying the tri-fold.
  • For the tri-fold display, authors may choose to:
    • Create and print a poster specifically designed for the tri-fold, or
    • Print and display presentation slides on the tri-fold.

    There is no template for the poster. However, you must show the title, author names on the top of the poster.

  • Authors are also welcome to use their own computer or laptop on the provided table for an additional demonstration, if applicable. Demos are optional and may be used to showcase software, interactive results, videos, or other supplementary materials related to the work.

2. Lightning talk

Each author should prepare a brief 10-minute or less lightning talk summarizing their work.

  • Please keep the presentation concise and focused so that attendees can quickly understand the main contributions of your work.
  • Authors should prepare slides for the lightning talk. These slides may also be printed and displayed on the tri-fold, if desired.

3. What to bring

Please bring:

  • One 3' × 4' tri-fold display board with your poster or printed presentation slides.
  • Slides for the 10-minute lightning talk in digital format.
  • A laptop or computer for an optional demo, if applicable.

To confirm the presentation of your poster, at least one author must be registered at the author rate. See https://risc.ieee-cs.org/2026/registration/ for details.

Poster session is currently scheduled to be on Nov 5.
