What are you doing on September 25th & 26th?
Single Cell and Spatial Omics are field-defining areas of technological development. Yet, to truly understand and adopt these technologies, there is a need for accessible community-led discussions and networking, focused on the best approaches and lessons learned so far.
To meet this need, we’ve been busy working behind the scenes preparing a new type of virtual event –FoG Live!
Inspired by The Festival of Genomics (FoG), FoG Live is a digital event that is free to attend, can be accessed from anywhere and is supported by some of the leading voices in the field.
The first FoG Live, Single Cell & Spatial, is to be held online on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th September 2024 at 2pm – 6pm (BST) / 3pm – 7pm (CEST) / 9am – 1pm (EDT) and we would love for you to attend. Here are some reasons why should join us next week!
An incredible selection of speakers
The first FoG Live hosts over 40 speakers from across the world, made up of leaders and innovators in single cell and spatial omics. Our community has expressed a desire to hear more about decision-making processes from field-leading scientists, plus those in pharma/biotech, and our speaker line boasts a strong selection of both.
Here’s a sample of who you will hear from at this event:
- Jasmine Plummer, Director, Center for Spatial OMICS, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital
- Tommy (Ming) Tang, Director ofBioinformatics, AstraZeneca
- Joseph Powell, Professor & Director of Translational Genomics at the Garvan Institute and Director of the UNSW Cellular Genomics Futures Institute
- Spyros Darmanis, Senior Scientist, Genentech
- Irene Papatheodorou, Professor & Head of Data Science, Earlham Institute
- Giorgio Gaglia, Associate Director and Head of Systems Biology, Precision Medicine and Computational Biology, Sanofi R&D
- Nancy Zhang, Professor of Statistics & Data Science, University of Pennsylvania
- Alina Ainbinder, Scientific Associate Director, Takeda
- Gene Yeo, Professor and Director, Center for RNA Technologies and Therapeutics, UCSD
- Yann Abraham, Associate Scientific Director, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine
A full selection of speakers can be found here.

Two tracks for a unique chance to develop your single cell and spatial research in one event
We know that most people working with single cell tools are interested in spatial omics, and vice versa. Yet, many events in the space focus on just one. FoG Live gives equal attention to both single cell and spatial by running two concurrent tracks.
And for any live sessions you miss – no problem – you can simply go back and watch the recorded sessions on-demand. By registering, you’ll get access to, and be given time to see, everything.
Diverse session formats that prioritise interaction and discussion
FoG Live has a set of interactive sessions interwoven into the two-day agenda, including ‘LIVE’ Technology and Tool Demonstrations, Roundtables, Polls and Panels, in which interaction and discussion are put to forefront.
These sessions offer a unique opportunity compared to the standard webinar or live-streamed event, because you can learn new methods directly from the source or take the opportunity to make your questions and challenges the focal point of the main stage discussion.
An Accessible and Free Event for Everyone
FoG Live is completely FREE to attend. This means we’re offering the chance to listen to and interact with some of the finest single cell and spatial researchers from across the world, while keeping your budget intact. Sessions will be available on-demand for two weeks after the event, meaning that registering will grant you access to 16 hours of content to watch and refer back to.
So, if you want to know how to get the best out of both single cell and spatial, join us next week! Registration takes just a few minutes and we really hope to see you there.
