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.
After registering you will receive an email acknowledging your registration. Your registration will then be verified and you will receive an email letting you know if your registration has been successful or if your ticket has been cancelled (eg because you don't meet the eligibility criteria for the ticket you applied for).
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.
You must use your work/organization email address when registering for the Festival. We do not accept registrations using a personal email address.
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.
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!
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).
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 £10 admin fee have been applied).
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. Due to the limited amount of tickets available we have had to prioritise 2nd year above only.
To be eligible for a student ticket please note:
-If you have a dual affiliation, for example you are a student but you also work for a Technology Provider /Solution Provider / Vendor then you must purchase a Solution Provider / Vendor ticket.
-Please use your student email address when registering for your student ticket to expedite the registration process.
- You must share a copy of your student ID at time of registration.
-Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
-Please be aware that if you don't meet the eligibility criteria for this student ticket your ticket will be cancelled and you will only receive a partial refund. There is a £10 admin fee and credit card processing fees will also be deducted from the refund.
Following feedback from attendees and exhibitors, we've taken the difficult decision not to allow access to any recruitment consultants for the Festival in 2026.
