Call for Posters & Presentations
At the LUNG FORCE Expo, patients, caregivers and healthcare providers join together to learn about treatments,
resources and the latest research to help those living with lung disease lead healthier, active lives. The LUNG
FORCE Expo planning committee is putting out a call for both posters and presentations for the Expo to be held
Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel. Presentations can be submitted for the
healthcare provider track, the patient & caregiver track, or both.
Preference will be given to those topics that meet Expo objectives, enabling healthcare providers and
patient/caregiver attendees to:
• Understand the course of lung disease from the initial diagnosis through to treatment, outcome, therapies and
emotional support
• Increase knowledge of lung disease assessment, diagnosis and personalized treatment options.
• Increase understanding about the availability and importance of clinical trials.
• Increase referral for early detection and understanding of lung disease risk.
• Improve patients’ and caregivers’ sense of self-confidence, well-being and ability to cope with the condition.
If you are interested in presenting at the 2016 LUNG FORCE Expo, please complete the following form and submit
it to Katie Halverson (Katie.Halverson@Lung.org) by Wednesday, November 18. Upon review and approval of the
LUNG FORCE Expo committee, accepted posters and presentations will be contacted for additional details.
