Plenary Sessions
- Plenary sessions featured keynote speakers within the opening session on Monday 7 April and the closing session on
Friday 11 April.
Computing in HEP is currently undergoing radical changes, as the growing complexity of computing systems and the increasing speed of
technological innovation force the community to introduce, exploit, and rely more and more upon technologies which are developed and
maintained outside its field. It was our aim to take CHEPī97 as an opportunity to the assess spread, longevity, and cultural impact of different
technologies, and to identify similarities and differences between HEP and non-HEP applications, environments, and experience.

Poster Presentation
- More emphasis than in previous CHEP conferences were placed on the poster session. Late Tuesday afternoon was allocated to poster presentations.
In the poster presentation, posters was grouped
by their topics, and the event was accompanied by cheese & wine. In addition to poster space, some stand-alone multi-media PC's were
provided to allow participants to enhance their posters with online demonstrations of their projects.
Participants were invited to submit detailed technical presentations directly to the poster session. We emphasized the possibility of supplementing
parallel talks with (animated) poster demonstrations.
