The UK’s largest life sciences event is back! Now celebrating its 11th year, the Festival has long been the annual get-together for the UK genomics community. And with more speakers and sessions than ever before, the 2026 edition is bigger and better than ever!
As the genomics sector has expanded, so has its impact.
The Festival now covers a diverse array of topics beyond genomics, including biodata, diagnostics, cancer research, healthcare, drug discovery and development, infectious diseases, AI, proteomics, multi-omics, single-cell, spatial analysis and so much more. Which means that if you work in any area of life sciences, there’s almost certainly something for you.
