History Highlights: Poster Sessions - An International Bazaar for Ideas
The annual meeting began experimenting with posters in the early 2000s because too many quality research papers were being left behind due to a lack of time in lectern sessions. At first the unfamiliar form struggled, and annual meeting planners realized that they needed to either give up or go big. Poster sessions at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) annual meeting are now something to behold. People from all over the world come to pitch new knowledge and haggle over ideas. To learn the whole story, check out the
latest release in the TRB History Highlights series.
As part of the Centennial Celebration, TRB has initiated the History Highlights series that will regularly release stories that highlight the events and people that helped shape TRB during the last 100 years.
