The 2027 Festival features 16 theatres designed to reflect the latest innovations in AI, healthcare and the life sciences landscape.

To help you navigate the agenda you can access the Agenda at a Glance here or you can click on the theatre icons below to access the full agendas and speaker line-ups for each theatre.

Following the Festival, in-person attendees (you have to have attended) will get on-demand digital access to all available session recordings where we have the speaker's permission to share them (typically over 90% of the sessions). Furthermore, for the first time ever, all attendees will also get an easy to navigate and exhaustive written summary of all sessions, which means you don't even have to spend the time to watch all the sessions to capture the full value of attending.

Main Stage
Biodata Stage
Cancer Diagnostics
AI Enabled Diagnostics
Home to our keynote speakers, including this year’s Mystery Speaker. Explore the latest advances in sequencing technologies, platforms and applications, alongside major UK healthcare policy updates shaping genomics.

Navigate the data foundations powering modern genomics, from large-scale omics projects and data infrastructure to advanced analytical approaches transforming how biological data is managed, interpreted and applied.

Discover how genomic profiling and AI are transforming cancer diagnostics and screening, alongside advances in liquid biopsy, multimodal approaches, early detection and minimal residual disease.

 

See how multimodal data and AI strengthen clinical decision-making, for more integrated insights, improved patient stratification and new approaches to delivering personalised, data-driven healthcare across clinical settings.
Single Cell Stage
Spatial Stage
Multi-Omics Stage
AI in Drug Discovery
Investigate how single-cell technologies are revealing disease mechanisms, developmental processes and cellular states, generating deeper biological insights and opening new opportunities for research, diagnosis and therapeutic discovery.

Understand how spatial omics is revealing tissue organisation, cellular interactions, development and disease biology, providing richer context for understanding complex biological systems and accelerating translational research.

Make sense of how proteomics and multi-omics integration are driving drug discovery and translational research, connecting diverse biological datasets to uncover mechanisms, identify targets and advance therapeutic development.

Dig into how leading biopharma companies apply AI across target discovery, protein design and translational research, exploring foundation models, agentic AI and what it truly means to build AI-ready data.

Genomics Medicine Stage
Epigenetics Stage
Bacteria bugs
Plant Genomics

Explore how genomics is scaling across the NHS, including AI-enabled healthcare, precision oncology and pharmacogenomics, while examining opportunities and challenges for implementing genomic medicine across clinical practice.

Dive into how epigenetic regulation shapes cancer, development, ageing and brain health, alongside advances in DNA methylation, three-dimensional genome organisation and molecular phenotyping for understanding the epigenome.

Discover how bacterial genomics is transforming outbreak intelligence, disease surveillance and public health, revealing new approaches to tracking pathogens, understanding transmission and informing evidence-based policy decisions.

Explore how pangenomes and genomic prediction are transforming plant breeding, with AI, functional genomics and emerging approaches accelerating trait discovery, improving crop performance and supporting sustainable agriculture.

Live Lounge
Pharmacogenomics Stage
Advanced Therapies
Women & Children's Health

Coming Soon...! The Live Lounge line-up will be revealed on Tuesday 3 November 2026

Learn about the advances in precision prescribing, point-of-care testing and pre-emptive pharmacogenomics, alongside how data enables personalised screening, risk prediction, prevention and earlier intervention across modern healthcare.

Learn more about how AI, genomics and next-generation delivery platforms are shaping future cell and gene therapies, alongside advances in manufacturing, GMP production and clinical delivery pathways for advanced therapies.

Explore the latest genomic advances transforming maternal, fetal, neonatal and paediatric care, alongside the ethical, clinical and implementation challenges shaping genomics across women’s and children’s health.
