RGME Pop-Up Poster Displays at the Congress

For the 2026 ICMS, we present a suite of posters (printed and digital) announcing and celebrating our activities. For details and schedule of these activities, see their HomePage:

2026 International Congress on Medieval Studies: Program

For information about the 2026 Congress as a whole, see its website:

International Congress on Medieval Studies

Poster Exhibition as Precedent for the 2024 ICMS

Here we renew an approach from the 2024 International Congress on Medieval Studies, when our Congress activities formed part of our Anniversary Year, celebrating 25 years as a nonprofit educational corporation and 35 years as an international scholarly society. For 2024, our Theme for the Year was Bridges, so that, by bringing our customary set of Posters (displayed on site at Congresses before they became partly hybrid) into a Virtual Exhibition of their own online, we could offer a bridge between our customary webpost for a given Congress, our printed Posters for the in-person event and for souvenirs afterward, and for download in digital form from our website.

For that prototype Virtual Exhibition, you can still visit the

Poster Exhibition for the 2026 ICMS

Our website Home Page for our 2026 ICMS Activities describes each of these events in turn (in the sequence in which they are set to occur), with descriptions about their scope and aims, instructions for directions to them, and information about the programs of the individual sessions, also with the speakers’ abstracts for their presentations.

Set in RGME Bembino, the Posters celebrate the Organizers, Presenters, Presiders, and Co-Sponsorships with other institutions:

Societas Magica
P.-O.M.o.N.A.
Postal History at Kalamazoo
Rossell Hope Robbins Library & Koller-Collins Center for English
at the University of Rochester
Bāḥra ḥassāb:
Knowledge Transmission in Ethiopia and Eritrea From Antiquity to Modern Times
at the University of Münster

For all their contributions, we give thanks.

The Posters on Display

In thanks to our co-sponsors, organizers, presenters, presiders, respondents, and Congress host, we offer posters both here for virtual display and in downloadable pdfs as souvenirs. Over the years, we have happily learned that participants take home posters to display on their office doors or the walls of their studies, and give them to their mother, department chair, and others as record. We hope that you enjoy them and the collective contributions that brought them into being.

II. Sessions
(in order of presentation in the Congress Program)

IIa. Group Poster for 2026 RGME Sessions at the ICMS

Poster designed by Hannah Goeselt via Canva, modelled upon her Poster for the Call for Papers, and updated from that state to reflect the sessions with their assigned times and session numbers. We warmly thank Hannah for this contribution.

IIb. Posters for all RGME Sessions
at the 2026 ICMS

By request, in keeping with RGME tradition, individual sessions have their own posters. Each session has a pair of Posters, so that they might not only honor our co-sponsors and celebrate the people involved in organizing, presiding, presenting, and responding, but also illustrate the subjects with representative images.

Where our co-sponsors have logos, we include them with permission on the posters as a sign of shared collaboration.
