Poster Judging and People's Choice Awards

As winners will not be announced until the conference, all poster presenters must be prepared to deliver a pitch if selected. 

Reasons a submission may not be accepted

  • The content has insufficient connection to QAC27 or the quantum ecosystem. 

  • The submission is primarily an advertisement or sales pitch for a product, service or organisation. 

  • The abstract does not provide enough information for reviewers to assess its purpose or value. 

  • The work is not original, required permissions have not been obtained, or the submission may infringe another party's intellectual property. 

  • The submission contains fabricated, misleading or improperly attributed material, including content produced using generative AI tools. 

  • The content is misleading, inappropriate, unsafe, confidential or inconsistent with conference requirements. 

  • The submission does not meet the published format, word limit or deadline. 

Industry and commercial submissions are welcome. They should focus on evidence, lessons, applications, challenges or ecosystem value rather than promotional messaging.
