Ten Great Reasons to Attend Lifesavers
1. Geared for all.
Whether you’re a state or local highway safety official, police officer or first responder, private or
non-profit program provider, student or academician, Lifesavers’ comprehensive program is for you.
“All of the sessions I attended were FANTASTIC!”
2. Affordable.
Sponsorships, off-season scheduling, government-rate rooms, and an early-bird registration
fee mean attendance won’t bust your budget.
3. Proven programs.
The 80+ workshop agenda includes cutting-edge programs that are proven to work
through research and/or evaluation.
“Enjoyed the speakers…they were motivated, experienced in their field and
had top-notch credentials.”
4. Hot topics. From distracted motorists and pedestrians to new technologies, drugged driving, driverless cars,
and more Lifesavers will focus on the topics impacting roadway safety today.
5. Knowledgeable, engaging speakers. Each workshop features leading experts and practitioners in traffic safety
who are selected not only because they’re knowledgeable, but skilled in engaging and energizing an audience.
“Great variety of topics to choose from addressing current issues.”
6. National leaders. The nation’s top safety professionals from NSC, GHSA, SKW, IIHS, MADD, AAA, NDAA,
NHTSA and other federal agencies, and the auto and insurance industries will be in Chicago.
7. Inside information. What’s trending in highway safety and what will the next highway reauthorization
bill look like? Get the scoop from knowledgeable insiders.
“I left with increased knowledge that has prompted a change in my thinking and actions”
8. Tremendous networking. You’ll have numerous opportunities for formal and informal peer
exchange, plus one-on-one discussion with more than 2,000 U.S. and international safety professionals.
9. State-of-the-art products. More than 100 companies, organizations and government agencies
exhibit their latest products, services, programs, and/or publications – some only at Lifesavers!
“The exhibit hall vendors’ commitment to developing and showcasing great products
was evident and appreciated.”
10. Friendly people. From the exhibitors and speakers to volunteers and attendees, everyone feels
welcome, prompting participants to return year after year.
2015 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGHWAY SAFETY PRIORITIES
Whether You’re a Novice or Seasoned Safety Professional, Lifesavers is for You!
What is Lifesavers?
Lifesavers is the premier national highway safety meeting in the United States dedicated to reducing the tragic toll of
deaths and injuries on our nation’s roadways. Drawing over 1,900 participants in 2014, Lifesavers continues to be the
essential conference since its start in 1982. Each year, Lifesavers provides a forum for the presentation of proven countermeasures and initiatives that address today’s critical highway safety problems.
The Lifesavers Conference is Offered at a Value that Cannot be Matched
by Any Other Highway Safety Conference!
The Lifesavers Conference brings together a unique combination of public health and safety professionals, researchers,
volunteers, and practitioners who are committed to sharing best practices, research, and policy initiatives that are proven
to work. You can’t get the kind of information that is conveyed at this conference anywhere else at this value. There is no
professional training that provides the same kind of information that compares with the Lifesavers Conference.

FRAUD ALERT: It has come to our attention that there are “Convention Services” companies that
may be contacting Lifesavers attendees to solicit hotel reservations for the 2015 conference. These
companies are referred to as room block pirates, and have NOT been authorized to handle Lifesavers
housing and are NOT affiliated with the Lifesavers Conference in any way. To avoid becoming the
victim of fraud, reserve your room directly through the Hyatt Reservations link found below. While it is
not illegal for a travel firm to solicit potential customers, it is impossible to determine the legitimacy of
their offer and we strongly recommend that you do not provide credit card details to phone solicitors.
By booking through them, you will likely face large cancellation fees and no guarantee of having a
confirmed hotel room.
Hyatt Reservations
Visit the travel page at www.lifesaverconference.com for reservation information.

2015 NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGHWAY SAFETY PRIORITIES
Poster Session
Share your highway safety work or injury prevention program or research!
A poster presentation is a graphic representation of the
author’s program or work. Authors illustrate their findings
by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams, and a small amount
of text on the poster boards.
• A complete paper cannot be posted.
• Posters promoting the sale of products or services or
otherwise seen as promoting an organization’s business
interests will not be accepted.
• Posters must present an innovative or creative approach
to addressing highway safety or injury prevention
through an education or research-based initiative, and
are evidenced based with supporting data.
• Poster presenters are expected to participate in the preceding Poster Dash workshop.
• Poster presenters must be registered for the conference
at the poster presenter $350 rate, and are not eligible for
financial aid, unless students are approved for student
scholarships. You are guaranteed the $350 early bird
attendee registration rate if your poster is not accepted.
• Space may be limited; priority is given to programs that
have not been presented in the past year to create an
opportunity for new initiatives/research and attendees to
be featured.
The authors will discuss their work during the Sunday evening reception with the attendees who are circulating among
the poster boards. Authors may find it helpful to prepare a
brief introduction that addresses obvious questions that may
be posed by the audience and then use the remaining time
for more in-depth discussions. The author must remain by
his/her poster during the entire presentation session. Posters
are available for general viewing during regular exhibit hall
hours.
Poster submissions are due by January 16, 2015. A subcommittee will review all poster submissions and contact you
via email by January 30, 2015 regarding the status of your
submission. Download an application from the Poster page
at www.lifesaverconference.org.

Guidelines for Preparing Your Poster Board
Lifesavers will provide an 8' wide by 4' tall board on
a stand with a small table, on which the poster materials should be affixed. Thumbtacks for mounting the
display will be provided. Each board will be assigned
a number that will be used to publicize your work to
the conference attendees. The author should prepare
materials in advance and adhere to the following
guidelines:
• Your poster should be easily understandable to the
reader and not require verbal explanation.
• Tell a story: keep the word count as low as possible, but provide a clear flow of information from introduction to conclusion. The flow should be clear
from the layout; if you need to use arrows, the content could probably be arranged better.
• Focus on your major findings – don’t try to cover
too much.
• The title and author(s’) name should be prominent
and eye-catching, using letters at least two inches
high.
• Material should be visible from a distance of 5 feet.
• Use graphs, tables, diagrams, and images where
appropriate. Use boxes to emphasize specific
points.
• Clearly label diagrams/drawings and provide references in the text where necessary.
• Use all the space at your disposal, but do not cram
in the content – white space is an important part
of the layout and will make your poster more eyecatching.
• Use color sparingly – limited use of a few colors is
more striking than a “rainbow” effect. It is especially
useful for emphasis and differentiation. Avoid color
combinations that clash (e.g., red type on a blue
background).
• A neutral or muted background is more pleasing
to the eye than a brightly colored background.
