Top Five Reasons to Present Your Poster at DIA 2026

• Posters allow you to gain feedback on ongoing research. Whether your work is in its early stages or completed, you will benefit from discussions with other researchers in the same field.
• Network with attendees and have an impartial discussion of your work with people from around the globe, across the drug development continuum.
• Posters are a great way to disseminate your work, especially if it falls within a narrow field of specialization.
• If your field of research/interest is not featured prominently in our program, a poster is a great way to bring your content to a wide, interdisciplinary audience.
• Gain the skills and confidence to present your work in a dynamic fashion to an audience of your peers.
