Unveiling of Conference Painting

Traditionally, at the end of his plenary keynote address, conference organizers unveil a painting Cortada created for the conference.  The painting captures the theme or issues to be addressed in the conference.  The image can be used to promote the conference post cards, brochures, agenda books.

Poster signing

Many times, conference organizers opt to use the painting as a poster to be distributed to all conference participants.  The posters usually include the Title of the Conference as well as logos of sponsoring orgnizations.

In such cases, the posters are distributed immediately following Cortada's speech.  Cortada then personally signs the posters given to each of the conference attendees.

Depending on the contractual arrangement, the painting then returns to the organization's headquarters, donated to a local museum, or is retained by the artist.
