From data to decisions. From discovery to better patient outcomes.
The Festival of Genomics, Biodata & AI returns to Boston at a critical moment for the US life sciences community. Funding pressures, rising development costs and intensifying competition are colliding with an unprecedented opportunity: the convergence of multi-omics, large-scale biodata and artificial intelligence.
To stay ahead, organizations must do more than generate data - they must integrate technologies, break down silos and translate insight into measurable progress, in research, drug discovery and translation into the clinic.
Bringing together 2,500+ professionals from pharma, biotech, healthcare, research and emerging tech, the Festival is designed to help you do exactly that. Across eight theatres, 180+ expert speakers and with the help of data-rich case studies, you’ll explore the very latest in how you can leverage omics, AI and advanced analytics to transform drug discovery, accelerate development, further your research projects and enable precision medicine.
Around 90% of attendees qualify for a free ticket.

Find out what previous attendees thought of The Festival
"I had a wonderful experience at FOG; saw people that I hadn't seen for a long time, and met many new business acquaintances."
“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.”
“It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with a broad audience and connect/network outside of my ""usual networks"". I can't thank you enough for everything you did and put into making this an event and conference to remember!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“It is pretty evident that The Festival is the most forward-thinking genetics/genomics festival out there and I am incredibly excited to share ideas with such a tremendous list of presenters and attendees.”
