The poster sessions of the XXIV International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics General Assembly, held in the medieval town of Perugia, Italy, from 2 to 13 July, 2007, had a very peculiar characteristic: the numbering of the posters had a very convoluted distribution making it very difficult for anyone to find a specific poster and its presenters. To circumvent this problem, all UNB posters, on a particular day, were strategically placed together on the same wall and in sequence: the "UNB wall of fame."
