Call for posters
An opportunity for researchers to display cross-cutting work from the frontier of technical AI governance during poster sessions across the two days. Attendees can browse and engage directly with the authors of the posters.
What we want to see
Submissions should sit in or across one of the three focus areas. Work in progress is welcome — we would like to see interesting open problems that can spark further discussion.
AI Verification
States may want to enter into agreements about how much compute they’re using to slow down a race to developing frontier AI. Such agreements would need verification from the hardware without any state being able to cheat on the conclusions drawn.
Trustworthy auditing
Third-party evaluators work through black-box APIs and often lack sufficient time and access to carry out effective audits of frontier AI models nor can they fully guarantee a model’s safety.
AI R&D automation
As models take on more of the research loop, the pace of capability gain and the difficulty of overseeing it are correlated. Here, we’re looking at what we can actually measure within automated AI R&D.

What reviewers consider
Relevance
Does it sit in one of the three focus areas, or clearly bridge them?
Actionability
Is there something here a policy team, evaluator or lab could do differently as a result?
Rigour
Are the claims supported, and are the limits stated honestly?
Discussion value
Will it start the kind of conversation that continues after the break?

Poster FAQ
Posters are reviewed by the programme committee on a rolling basis. The deadline for abstracts is 2 October 2026, 23:59 BST.
Actively. An evaluation design that failed, and a clear account of why, is often more useful to this audience than a positive result.
Posters are selected by the programme committee.
Choose the closer one and say so in the abstract. Cross-cutting submissions are welcome and are reviewed on the same criteria.
