General Abstract Guidelines

• Topics must be related to movement disorders and address: 
  • clinical research 
  • best practices for patient management, or  
  • improving patient quality of life
• We encourage abstracts on original research not published elsewhere.
• Abstracts should:
  • not exceed 300 words.
  • include the full names and affiliations of all authors. 
• Multiple submissions are welcome; however, if there are multiple presenters, only the submitter will be notified and responsible for notifying the presenter(s) of all details.
• Encore Posters
  • Abstracts may be submitted for an encore poster previously accepted and displayed at a conference or meeting, provided:
    • It was a conference or meeting within 2025-2026.
    • You include the conference/meeting name, date(s), and location at which your poster was accepted and displayed.

Poster Guidelines

These guidelines apply to those who are selected to present a poster at ATMRD.

• Presenters will be required to print, ship, and set up their poster onsite.   
• Poster size is limited to horizontal (45″x40″) or vertical (40″x45″) layouts. There are no exceptions to this size limit.
  • If your poster is outside the size limit listed above, you will be required to have it reprinted at your own expense before it can be displayed. 
• You will be required to submit a PDF version of your accepted poster, which will be viewable on the ATMRD website and conference app. 
• At least one contributing author must be in attendance.
  • Authors may also designate a presenter who is familiar with the topic and subject matter. 
  • If the submitter of the abstract is different than the presenter, the submitter is responsible for providing all details to the presenter.    
• Presenters should be prepared to discuss the content and answer attendee’s questions during the designated poster session.   
• A select number of outstanding posters will receive special recognition.

Late-Breaking Abstracts 

Late-breaking abstracts are those critically important research developments that occur after the abstract submission deadline, leading up to ATMRD Congress, which offers crucial insights to advanced therapies.  

Late-breaking abstracts will be evaluated and considered if they meet the following criteria: 

• This category is not an extension of the general abstract submission.
• The topic must be of critical importance to the clinical landscape in movement disorders that relies on data and analysis published after the deadline for general poster abstract submission. 
• Poster may not have been previously presented at a conference.
