Welcome Reception and Poster Presentation

Thursday | 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Kick off the Summit in style at our Welcome Reception & Poster Presentation where science, community, and conversation come together! Enjoy hearty hors d’oeuvres and cocktails as you mingle with friends and colleagues and connect with some of the brightest minds in PF research.

The exhibit hall will be lined with cuttingedge scientific posters, each staffed by the researcher who helped to create it. This is your chance to walk right up, ask questions, and hear the science explained directly from the experts themselves — no lectures, no barriers, just open conversation.

As the evening unfolds, we’ll celebrate discovery with the Poster Awards Ceremony.

Ten outstanding posters will receive special recognition—and the winning poster’s researcher will present their work in a dedicated conference session on Saturday.

It’s more than an opening reception. It’s your front-row seat to the future of PF research, paired with a warm welcome to the PF community.

Come curious, leave inspired.

A very special thank you to our sponsors!
