The Festival of Genomics and Biodata

The Festival of Genomics & Biodata is now in its 8th year! Thanks to your support, what started as a 600 person, 50 speaker event in 2016 at Excel in East London now attracts well over 2,000 people and has over 150 speakers. The Festival has become the main place for the UK genomics industry to meet, have fun, learn, do business, connect with other people and get inspired.

The Festival is not like other genomics events, and neither is it meant to be. The early idea was “Woodstock for Genomics” - to bring people together, inspire them and leave them buzzing with energy and ideas – but also be entertained. So that they leave with an increased motivation and the drive to better use genomics and related technologies. Ultimately, we want to make sure that patients benefit.
