The aim of our research is to construct criteria for evaluating participant behaviors that will help ensure fruitful communication experiences in poster sessions. We recorded on video the proceedings of a simulated poster session. Then, we analyzed the audience’ spatial position at each poster presentation and their joining in/leaving behaviors. The results highlighted the key behaviors of an audience in the front row of a poster presentation that wanted to leave from the discussion, and those of an audience in the rear row that wanted to join in the discussion. These findings suggest that it would be effective to provide an encouragement that helps audiences to join in/leave from presentations suited to the situations.
