Brought to you in partnership with:
The UK’s largest life sciences event is back!
Where scientists, clinicians, business leaders, tech companies, investors, patient organisations and policymakers come together to learn, network, collaborate, participate, discover and ultimately translate the latest innovations in science and technology into better patient outcomes.
Genomics and much more beyond
The Festival now covers so much more than genomics. It’s now a great spend of time for just about anyone working in life sciences. AI, biodata, diagnostics, drug discovery, medicine, multi-omics, single-cell, spatial, women’s health… and so many more topics are covered.
The 2026 Speaker Lineup includes:
Patient Impact Before Profit
The Festival started after the death of the founder’s father to a rare form of cancer: read more here. And so, this event has always been built on a simple principle: patient impact comes first.
As a result, most (90%) Festivalgoers pay nothing to attend. This makes the Festival more accessible, more impactful, and ensures more money is reserved for important scientific R&D, not conference tickets.
Which means more of you will get to access the world’s best life sciences event for free.

The Poster Zone is a launchpad for new ideas and partnerships, giving you the chance to meet with potential new collaborators. Find out more about some of the research that will be on display.

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!”
