• Description:
  The 2015 Work, Stress, and Health conference included several new features, including business and labor track sessions and interactive panel sessions. Business and labor track sessions were designed for working professionals who may have only been able to attend one day of the conference and highlighted select applied research findings. The interactive panel sessions included 6-8 presenters who gave five-minute presentations, followed by a robust moderated discussion of the topic with the audience. The interactive panel sessions were in response to conference attendee requests for more discussion time and received favorable comments. For example, one attendee reported, "I was very pleased with the Interactive panel format. The presenters did not bore the audience with the minor details of their research. They were quick and stimulated a lot of discussion." We hope to continue the interactive panel format in future conferences. Seven pre-conference workshops were held the day of the opening session, and attendees were offered continuing education credits for attending. NIOSH staff were involved with presentation of two workshops, one on Total Worker Health and Sustainability and another on Designing the Age Friendly Workplace. Planning has begun for the twelfth Work, Stress, and Health Conference to be held June 7-10, 2017 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Hilton Minneapolis. The conference theme is Contemporary Challenges and Opportunities. We are excited to be holding the next conference in Minneapolis; Travel and Leisure Magazine named Minneapolis as one of the top five smartest cities in the US, so it is an apt location for the conference! Minneapolis has a multitude of activities for everyone that we will be informing attendees about in the time leading up to the conference. The detailed call for proposals will be available in the spring of 2016. We hope you will plan to join us for another great conference in 2017! [Description provided by NIOSH]
