As the genomics sector has expanded, so has its impact.
The Festival now covers a diverse array of topics beyond genomics, including AI, biodata, cancer diagnostics, drug discovery, genomic medicine, proteomics, multi-omics, single-cell, spatial and so much more.
So no matter which area of the life sciences you work in, there’s almost certainly something for you.
The 2026 Speaker Lineup includes:
A Purpose Beyond Profit…
This Festival is, and always has been, about prioritising social impact over profitability. Each year we're breaking the myth that the best life sciences events are hidden behind a high paywall. You can learn more about the story of the Festival here.
By bringing the community together under one roof, we're attempting to maximize the development opportunities available to clinicians and scientists. Offering industry leading content across 16 extensive theatres, supported by amazing speakers, post-event recordings (for attendees only), and a whole host of unique features, we're here to do exactly that.

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 FoG2024 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!”
