Registration FAQs

Is the 2025 Festival taking place both in-person and online? 

No. The Festival is taking place in-person ONLY. So, to participate in the Festival, you will need to travel to Boston and attend in-person. 

Why is the Festival not taking place digitally? Why is it live only? 

Keeping the Festival free to attend, in the long run, is a priority. It’s important to the business model that supports free attendance of the Festival that we create a vibrant, dynamic, well-attended LIVE event. We want to ensure as many people attend the in-person Festival as possible, so that our sponsors and exhibitors (who ultimately pay for the event and subsidize free tickets) meet as many people as possible. This keeps this, and future Festivals, free to attend for more than 90% of our attendees. We are developing our digital offering for the future, particularly for those who cannot travel to the Festival in-person. 

What does a delegate ticket give you? 

A Festival ticket gives you access to the theatres for the agenda sessions, networking activities, the main exhibition floor and the drinks reception as well as a host of activities taking place during the Festival itself! 

Which email address should I use when registering? 

You must use your work/organization email address when registering for the Festival. We do not accept registrations using a personal email address. 

Who qualifies for a free ticket? 

The Festival is free to attend for people working exclusively for a healthcare provider (such as a hospital or clinic), a research institution, a governmental body, a registered charity or a pharmaceutical company (with an existing drug pipeline). 

Who must purchase Technology Provider / Solution Provider / Vendor Tickets? 

This ticket applies if you work for a company that sells technology or solutions to research institutions, hospitals or pharma companies. This ticket is also the correct option for companies that sell services or products to our sponsors and exhibitors. 

What if I am affiliated with more than one organisation? 

If you are eligible for 2 (or more) different types of tickets due to your dual (or more) affiliations, then the most expensive ticket type applies. For example, if you qualify for a free ticket due to working for a research organisation but also work for a Solution Provider / Technology Provider then you must purchase a Solution Provider / Technology Provider ticket. 

What happens if I purchase the wrong ticket? 

If you purchase the wrong type of ticket (for example, you purchase a student ticket when you should have purchased a Technology/Solution Provider ticket), your ticket will be cancelled, and a partial refund given (after credit card processing fees and a $20 admin fee have been applied). 

Student tickets 

There are a limited number of undergraduate and master’s student tickets available so we would recommend registering for your ticket as soon as possible. 

Can I apply for a Press Pass? 

To apply for a press pass please contact beth@frontlinegenomics.com Please note it is not possible to apply for a press pass during the Festival. Press passes must be applied for in advance. 

I am a Recruitment Consultant, can I attend the Festival? 

Following feedback from attendees and exhibitors, we've taken the difficult decision not to allow access to any recruitment consultants for the Festival in 2025.
