The Cochrane Community Exhibition Stand has traditionally been a hub of activity and a gathering point for both members, staff, and for those new to Cochrane. Come chat to us, get your questions answered, and learn more about Cochrane!
Our annual event, the Cochrane Colloquium, brings together members of the community, staff, and newcomers to Cochrane. Amongst the wide range of workshops, activities, social events, and support we are offering, we would like to ensure that consumers, students, early career professionals, and first time Colloquium participants have easily identifiable people to ask questions to and the chance to learn about the wide a range of Cochrane activities. At breaks or at lunch, we invite you to visit the Cochrane Community Exhibition Stand and come chat with us!
At the stand you will see people wearing a purple Cochrane sash so that you know who to approach if you have questions. Those with sashes have attended multiple Cochrane Colloquia and have a good awareness of Cochrane and our work – they are there for you to ask questions, have a chat and to network with. See you at the Community Booth!
