We’re pleased to announce that registration is now open for The Festival of Genomics, Biodata & AI in Boston this June.
As the life sciences sector rapidly evolves – notably due to the rise of AI – it has never been more important to build new connections, develop your skills, and keep up with emerging trends. That’s why over 2,000 attendees from research, biotech, pharma, healthcare, regulators and technology companies will meet under one roof at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center on June 3 – 4, making it the perfect place to learn, connect and get ahead.
What can you expect at The Festival of Genomics, Biodata & AI?
- 8 theatres of presentations and panel discussions covering a wide range of topics including sequencing, multi-omics, AI, cloud & federated data, single-cell analysis, spatial omics, epigenetics, cancer diagnostics and more.
- 180+ expert speakers who will share their insights and deliver actionable intelligence.
- Hands-on workshops designed to help you develop new and existing skills.
- Structured and informal networking opportunities to help you find your next collaborator and increase the size of your network.
