APMA Abstracts: From Poster to Podium is about more than presenting research—it’s about amplifying it. This initiative is designed to elevate foot and ankle research from the conference floor to the global stage, ensuring that important ideas don’t stop at a poster board but continue to inform, influence, and inspire clinical practice.
By giving selected abstracts a platform beyond the exhibit hall, From Poster to Podium creates a meaningful pathway for researchers, clinicians, and innovators to share their work with a broader audience. It bridges the gap between discovery and dissemination, transforming promising research into conversations that reach peers across disciplines, geographies, and generations.
This program celebrates curiosity, rigor, and collaboration—highlighting the voices shaping the future of foot and ankle care. It’s about visibility, momentum, and impact. Because great research deserves more than a moment—it deserves a platform.
