Why should you create a poster? 

Poster presentations provide an opportunity for you to share the work of your organization, team or community with a larger audience of rare disease stakeholders from advocacy, research and industry. Showcasing ongoing or completed projects often can provide new connections/opportunities to meet new collaborators and/or potential funders.

Are there any tips for creating an “attractive” poster/abstract?

  • The title of the poster is very important to draw attention, like a good news headline.
  • There are PowerPoint ppt poster templates available from various sites. 
  • An abstract is important to attract an audience to view your poster presentation in more detail.
  • Make it simple, easy to read, organized and presentable.
  • Add a patient picture, story, or perspective as it will make the poster more attractive.

No, all posters will be displayed in person only on a monitor. There will be no virtual display.

Will I be required to attend in person to present my poster?
