The Illinois Library Association (ILA) Conference Program Committee is now accepting applications for poster sessions at the 2024 ILA Annual Conference, taking place at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, IL. Poster sessions will be held in the exhibit hall on Wednesday, October 9, and Thursday, October 10, the second and third days of the three-day Conference.
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 also 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 26. Need help? Get tips for an effective poster session here.
