Salon – Developing a Conference Abstract
July 2 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A weekly webinar to discuss careers and research topics. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers, and group online chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire, and educate. In this session, we hear from Sara Erzsebet Zsadanyi & Wasiu Balogun exploring how to craft a great conference abstract.
A great conference abstract is more than a summary—it’s your first chance to get noticed. In dementia research, where competition for attention is high and word counts are tight, every sentence matters. But how do you distil your work into something concise, compelling, and clear? How do you convince reviewers—and attendees—that your research deserves a place on the stage? Today, we’ll break down the craft of writing a standout abstract, exploring how to communicate significance, spark interest, and open the door to new opportunities.
