Real progress doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in-person.
In the AI era, meeting and learning from people in-person has never been more important. The real magic happens when everyone comes together, and there is nowhere better than the UK's largest Life Sciences event - The Festival of Genomics & Biodata to help you learn, network, discover and make better decisions that end up impacting the lives of patients.
Life sciences is changing fast. AI is reshaping how we understand biology, biodata is becoming central to discovery and healthcare, and advances across genomics, multi-omics, diagnostics and precision medicine are creating possibilities that once felt out of reach.
At the same time, we have never had more information, or more noise around us. Knowing what matters, who to trust and where the field is really heading increasingly depends on context, judgement and the conversations you have with the right people.
The Festival of Genomics & Biodata brings the entire ecosystem together to discover what’s next, learn from those putting innovation into practice, and build the connections that help turn scientific progress into real-world impact.
The Festival covers a wide range of topics including advanced therapies, AI in drug discovery, AI enabled diagnostics, biodata, cancer diagnostics, epigenetics, genomics, multi-omics, pathogen genomics, pharmacogenomics, plant genomics, polygenic risk scores, precision medicine, single-cell, spatial biology, women and children’s health….and so much more!
The 2027 speaker faculty includes:
Turi King
The Festival has a large range of workshops and roundtables, so it’s easier than ever to meet like-minded people and join some of the most influential voices in the community. Bring your challenges, learn from experts, exchange ideas and leave with new skills.
Speed networking is a fantastic way to meet other attendees in short, three minute bursts. A fun way to spark conversations with people you wouldn't normally meet.
The Poster Zone is a launchpad for new ideas and partnerships, giving you the chance to meet with potential new collaborators.
The most valuable two days you’ll spend all year
Practical learning you can use immediately
360+ speakers share real case studies, real workflows and real implementation lessons, not theory, hype or product pitches. Learn how genomics, biodata, AI and diagnostics are being applied in practice across research, healthcare and industry.
Focused content across the full innovation pipeline
16 theatres covering advanced therapies, biodata, AI, diagnostics, drug discovery, multi-omics, genomics, plant genomics, precision medicine, spatial biology, single-cell analysis and more. Follow the journey from discovery to application and understand what’s working, what’s emerging and what comes next.
A community built around collaboration
Connect with 8,300+ registrants from research, healthcare, pharma, biotech, technology/ solution provider companies, start-ups and patient organisations. Find collaborators, share challenges and build relationships that move your work forward.
Intelligence that helps you make better decisions
Go beyond the latest technologies to understand where genomics, biodata and AI are delivering real value and where challenges remain. Learn from leading organisations about what they are implementing, what they have learned and how innovation is translating into scientific, clinical and commercial impact.
Designed around what actually works
Every speaker is asked to share practical experience, including successes, failures and actionable takeaways you can apply in your own work. The programme is case-study led, interdisciplinary and focused on evidence, implementation and real-world impact.
A vibrant exhibition floor
Explore the exhibition floor for the latest technology and solutions to help you advance your work. Catch up with your existing suppliers and partners or source new ones.
Not just another event, it’s where the UK life sciences community comes together.
"The Festival of Genomics & Biodata is an event that I look forward to attending and speaking at every year."
“The Festival of Genomics has become the de facto venue in the world of genomics for clinical meets academic meets industry. A great place to catch up with lots of old colleagues and collaborators.”
“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!”
“The best conference for networking with like-minded scientists.”
“Great festival, lots of presentation streams and something for everyone interested in science. The headphones which enable participants to hear the presentation was a great addition.”
“I really enjoyed The Festival of Genomics and Biodata as it is the best event in Europe that brings academic and industry research together, and combines knowledge with technology.”
“The Festival of Genomics is THE place to catch up with everyone at the same time. The place is buzzing, and I always leave with a head full of ideas. It's exhilarating!”
