I've presented every type of paper except a Hands-On Workshop, and presenting a poster is by far the most work of any of them. In the future, SAS Global Forum might consider dropping the requirement for a paper in addition to a poster, as long as the poster is in a form that can be included in the proceedings.

One year when I was a judge for the posters section, someone pointed out that there's no way for a shy person to give a presentation at SAS Global Forum - every section, including posters, requires speaking in public. Please consider dropping the "meet the presenter" requirement for this section, to encourage posters by those who are shy or who don't feel their English is good enough, or simply don't like standing in large noisy crowds.
