I am a clinical geneticist practicing in the US and this was my first Festival. I found it absolutely informative, useful and inspiring. It helped me to understand how to better communicate with my colleagues and scientists and I fully endorse it. Furthermore, the value gained can help to develop new partnerships, research programs and clinical services.

It was seamless from a presenter’s standpoint.

As scientists we have a duty to present and share our work with our community. The Festival is an excellent way to interact with our friends and colleagues, both in academia and industry, a gateway to disseminate and learn about new ideas and approaches, and an opportunity to explore new breakthroughs and collaborations. We all work in the exciting field of genomics and it is a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this great community!

I greatly appreciated the presence of many great expert speakers both from industry and academia, presenting cutting-edge science and their opinions on a broad range of subjects. Enlightening!

An event that no biomedical researcher should miss. Super interesting talks from which you learn a lot. You have the opportunity to establish contact with other groups and companies that can help you in your daily work; from that, new ideas could be born on how to help patients.

I have enjoyed several talks from the conference! Great speakers and comprehensive schedule, including diverse topics and a combination of academy and industry!

The festival is a unique take on collaboration and discussion across the genomics field. I’m excited to network and interact on a larger scale than at other events.

A new and engaging way to bring people together from all disciplines and fields to solve the big problems for health and disease.

Innovative approach of the Festival makes it a unique venue rich with learning opportunities and networking.

I am really glad and honoured to have being invited to participate in this festival. Last year, I had seen on my Twitter a feed about how the festival was. Sadly, it had already passed and I couldn’t participate, so I got really excited when I was invited to participate in a panel, especially because I can get to know top people in the field of genomics and share the efforts we are making in this field in my country.

Last year’s attendee list included many people I admire in the field and I look forward to interacting with them all at this year’s event.

Thank you for organising a fantastic event!

The Festival of Genomics & Biodata is an event that I look forward to attending and speaking at every year

For me, it was like a much-awaited shower of fresh information and deep insights! I was quite impressed by the all the areas of genomics it tried to bring together – exciting new research, progress on cutting-edge industry techniques, perspective from the medical staff, patient involvement, integration of research into interpretation and care, how to find a start-up and seek support and funding...all of it. For me it added so much context to what I do as a bioinformatician and excited me a lot about the future. It feels good to be in such a rapidly progressing field!

The festival presents a great opportunity for the scientific community and enthusiasts to discuss the state-of-the-art in genomics, the role of data science in biology and the significant role data-driven genomics will have in personalized healthcare in the near future.

In one word, the Festival of Genomics was excellent. Speakers, presentations and time slots (timing) were all excellent. I’ve enjoyed, appreciated and got value from my Festival experience both face- to-face (2020) and virtual (2021). Thank you very very much!!!

These last four days were packed with the most relevant and current topics for a broad audience interested in keeping up with the latest in genomics and its clinical implementation. I learned a lot and look forward to the next event!

This is my 4th Festival of Genomics and as always I am amazed by the quality.

When I saw the lineup and the spirit of the first of Festival of Genomics, I knew that it was going to be somehow different from existing events. I attended and had a great experience. I came back to Cincinnati Children’s more energized.

…Honestly, I attend lots of meetings, but I haven't been nearly as enthusiastic as for the Festival of Genomics. What a sophisticated, but yet refreshing and sleek approach…

This is a great way to make a connection with other individuals in the field and understand diverse perspectives on the future of this area of research.

The community that gathers at the Festival of Genomics represents a unique opportunity to build relationships, create collaborations, learn, and brainstorm potential solutions to the most important issues in biologic sciences and pharmaceutical industry.

Thank you and all concerned for presenting a brilliant Festival; a true celebration of Genomics and Data
