The best things in life are FREE
The Festival is designed principally for scientists and clinicians who are working in the fields of genomics, other omics, and/or using biodata, to further research, drug discovery, healthcare and – ultimately – deliver better patient outcomes.
It’s brimming with essential insights from 160+ world class speakers , challenging discussions on essential topics (see the full agenda here), and powerful learning and networking experiences.

A purpose beyond profit.
The event is free for 90% of attendees. You might be asking, ‘what’s the catch?’
There is no catch. The Festival is breaking the myth that the best life sciences events are also the most expensive to attend. And we have good reasons for doing this.
The Festival was set up after the death of the CEO’s father to cancer, and with a mission to deliver the benefits of genomics to patients faster. It was set up to prioritize social impact, not profit. You can read more about this here.
Here is what a few of our previous attendees had to say about the last Festival of Genomics & Biodata in Boston:
"I was very excited to hear about the new biological insights that are arising from the convergence of single cell and long read sequencing technologies. A high-quality event, right in my own neighborhood - can't beat that!"

Vertex Pharmaceuticals
"It was great to attend FoG Boston and hear from a diversity of thought leaders and see the progress they are making. I liked the focus on conversations and dialogue."

"Best genomics conference I have been to.....ever. It was intellectual gluttony."
