Through a mixture of panel discussions, fireside chats, workshops and live pitching sessions, we’ll be sharing some inspirational examples of how advocacy groups and companies have been working together to achieve fantastic results.

Seeing beyond the diagnosis – a virtual exhibition that puts a face to rare diseases
When Patricia Weltin first put a call out for artists to paint portraits of children with rare diseases to share with the medical community, she had no idea how quickly the project would grow into a ground-breaking exhibition involving more than 70 artists and 135 children around the globe. Now Patricia is bringing a virtual gallery of these poignant portraits to the Cambridge Rare Disease Network’s #RAREsummit21 on 7 October 2021. And it’s Patricia’s goal to make sure many thousands more people see this thought-provoking exhibition too.
