“The platform was fantastic.
Well organised exhibitions and I loved the “swag bag” aspect and the fact that it was still available online for a period of time after the event so I could re-watch and revisit. Obviously there was a lot to take in on one day so this was a wonderful addition to your event.”

“All the talks &
presentations I attended were
great, but the talk around the film ‘Journey of Hope’ was particularly emotive, poignant and inspiring. Each of the talks I attended inspired me to look into specific areas around rare disease further.”
Andrea Reid-Kelly, Noonan Syndrome Association and Together
It was such an amazing event,
so well organised. So much varied content. Really, really gripping, moving, exciting, inspiring, colourful, insightful and a million other thoughts and feelings.

Overall my favourite thing
was how brilliantly RAREfest
was adapted to a virtual platform.
It was also great that you got sponsorship for the poster gallery and were so supportive when I submitted the new MdDS poster.
