Cambridge Rare Disease Network is returning on the 28th November for RAREfest20 - the world's only rare disease inspired festival for a global audience! It's a full day of free interactive virtual exhibits and activities showcasing the science, organisations and communities improving lives and bringing hope to those affected by rare diseases.

RAREfest20 has patients at its heart with science and technology running through its veins! It includes speakers and exhibitors of all ages offering talks, panel discussions, live demos and more. Open to everyone - patients, families, children, students, healthcare professionals, researchers and companies.

Sign up to the RAREfest20 newsletter to stay up to date as fantastic new speakers and the day's schedule are announced.


Highlights include:

Same But Different - Stories Behind The Faces

For a taster of some of the virtual exhibits in store, check out the inspirational ‘Stories Behind The Faces’ gallery by the Same But Different charity. The beautiful images offer an interactive collage of stories of patients and families whose lives are affected by rare diseases.

Film and poster gallery

Another highlight of the day will be a gallery showcasing rare disease inspired films, posters and artwork. These can be created by those affected by rare or undiagnosed conditions, by patient organisations and advocates, by researchers and companies or by artists. This is your chance to raise awareness of eosinophilic conditions and to get your voice heard!
