Presenting a poster at COSHCON is an opportunity to help conference attendees learn about a recent worker health and safety campaign or novel research project. The poster session gives you an opportunity to be creative! Poster presenters illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams, and a small amount of text on the poster boards.

The Poster Session, hosted in collaboration with the UIC School of Public Health, will take place on Thursday, October 9th, 2:00 PM, during the Expo @ COSHCON.

Poster presenters should be prepared to give a brief synopsis of their campaign or research project (1 minute), be comfortable discussing and answering questions about it to conference participants. Posters will be located in the exhibit hall with exhibitors and other informational tables. 

• Posters should give viewers a high-level overview of a campaign or research.
• Use visuals like photos, illustrations, or infographics to tell your story.
• Keep text minimal—use short phrases or bullet points instead of paragraphs.
• Choose bold, readable fonts and bright colors to catch attention.
• Include a QR code that links to a video, website, or other relevant resource.
• Add a question or prompt to spark conversation with viewers.
• Include quotes or short stories to make your poster more personal.
• Bring small props or handouts that connect to your poster content.
