Science Meets Imagination

Inspired by Montréal’s creative spirit, The Art of Collaboration brings together the most imaginative minds at ASHG 2026 for an evening of ideas, conversation, and connection.

You’re invited to a scientific poster session and reception celebrating the people, data, technology, and partnerships that elevate discovery to an art form. Connect with researchers, institutional leaders, data users, and partners while enjoying refreshments and desserts. Discover how trusted data, shared science, and connected research communities are accelerating breakthroughs that improve care and outcomes for children and families living with childhood cancer and congenital conditions, including Down syndrome.
