The Illinois Library Association (ILA) Conference Program Committee invites applications for poster sessions at the 2023 ILA Annual Conference, at the BOS Center in Springfield, IL, from Tuesday, October 24, to Thursday, October 26. Poster sessions will be held in the exhibit hall on Wednesday, October 25, and Thursday, October 26.
Submissions are invited from all types of libraries and on any topic relevant to librarianship and may include a description of an innovative library program; an analysis of a solution to a problem; a report of a research study; or any other presentation that would benefit the larger library community. Poster session participants populate boards (4 x 8 feet) with pictures, data, graphs, diagrams, narrative text and more and informally discuss their presentations with conference attendees during an assigned 90-minute time period.
The Poster Session Committee will consider the quality of the research, program or project as presented in the abstract in making its decisions. Applications are due by Friday, July 28.
Please note: only Illinois library staff, trustees, students, etc. may apply. Vendors and others who offer services for a fee should consider a booth in the exhibit hall.
