Abstract Information


The WPC 2010 will accept poster abstracts from both health professionals engaged in research as well as from the community of people living with PD who are involved in activities and programs that are creating change for the PD community. Read about the areas in which poster abstracts can be submitted and get ready for a lively poster session!

Scientific Posters*
The WPC 2010 will accept poster abstract submissions on all topics relevant to PD from anyone currently doing research in the field. This includes, but is not limited to research in basic and clinical sciences, best practices for care delivery and quality of life, and related themes. Abstracts accepted under this category will be published in a journal supplement prior to the Congress.

Living with Parkinson’s Posters*
People with Parkinson’s and other non-medical contributors are encouraged to submit poster abstracts detailing initiatives which have already or could, if implemented, make a positive difference to living with PD. Some examples might be campaigns to raise funds or awareness, an appeal to change government policy, consumer feedback on the current status of managing the condition or improving communication in the world of Parkinson’s. Individuals, teams, and organizations are encouraged to make submissions.

*All abstracts accepted for display will require onsite representation by the contributor during the WPC 2010.


Not sure about submitting a poster? Will the WPC 2010 be your first scientific meeting? Don't let this keep you from submitting something. If you have a program or project you consider valuable to the larger PD community, talk to your peers and local support or organizational group about working on the poster together. This is a great opportunity for good ideas for projects and programs to be shared. What one group is doing in Small Town, USA may work well for another group in Small Town, Australia. We will not know until the ideas are shared and discussions are had whether or not programs can be emulated.

What is a poster?
A Poster Session combines text and graphics to make a visually pleasing presentation of your subject matter. As viewers walk by, your poster should quickly and efficiently communicate your information. Posters allow viewers to study and restudy your information and discuss it with you one on one.


The WPC 2010 will be accepting abstract submissions from December 9, 2009 through April 12, 2010. If you would like to receive updates on key abstract submission dates and deadlines, please join our mailing list by clicking here.
