I have loved the talks and the festival itself! The topics were diverse and even the one outside my area of interest were fascinating and amazing!
I am amazed by the quality of talks and speaker. Best science festival !
The Woodstock of Genomics, the Lollapalozza of Bioinformatics
An event that no biomedical researcher should miss. Super interesting talks from which you learn a lot. You have the opportunity to establish contact with other groups and companies that can help you in your daily work; from that, new ideas could be born on how to help patients.
A must attend conference about genomics, on both new technologies and research sides. Thank you very much for having organized this event and keep doing it in future!
I am a clinical geneticist practicing in the US and this was my first Festival. I found it absolutely informative, useful and inspiring. It helped me to understand how to better communicate with my colleagues and scientists and I fully endorse it. Furthermore, the value gained can help to develop new partnerships, research programs and clinical services.
It is pretty evident that the Festival is the most forward-thinking genetics/genomics festival out there and I am incredibly excited to share ideas with such a tremendous list of presenters and attendees.
Thank you for organising a fantastic event!
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!
It is one of the best modelled conferences that I have attended todate in terms of knowledge sharing and openness to collaborate
Last year’s attendee list included many people I admire in the field and I look forward to interacting with them all at this year’s event.
The festival presents a great opportunity for the scientific community and enthusiasts to discuss the state-of-the-art in genomics, the role of data science in biology and the significant role data-driven genomics will have in personalized healthcare in the near future.
Thank you to the whole team for this phenomenal conference. I’ve been attending every year since its start and it has never failed to make me feel proud for belonging to the genomics community
This is my 4th Festival of Genomics and as always I am amazed by the quality.
It was seamless from a presenter’s standpoint.
The festival exceeded my expectation this year in terms of content, volume and
opportunity. It really showed the power of hard work and collaboration in the genomics space,
especially in data management and knowledge sharing. The fruits of this labour were demonstrated
in terms of real world patient benefits in the clinical and in influencing drug R & D programmes in the Pharmaceutical industry. I look forwards to next year's event.
This is one of the most inspiring conferences I have been to. Most of the talks are intriguing and offer unique insights.
These last four days were packed with the most relevant and current topics for a broad audience interested in keeping up with the latest in genomics and its clinical implementation. I learned a lot and look forward to the next event!
For me, it was like a much-awaited shower of fresh information and deep insights! I was quite impressed by the all the areas of genomics it tried to bring together – exciting new research, progress on cutting-edge industry techniques, perspective from the medical staff, patient involvement, integration of research into interpretation and care, how to find a start-up and seek support and funding...all of it. For me it added so much context to what I do as a bioinformatician and excited me a lot about the future. It feels good to be in such a rapidly progressing field!
A new and engaging way to bring people together from all disciplines and fields to solve the big problems for health and disease.
A great event, filled with detailed cutting-edge research out-put and great speakers, offering a unique balance between bench to bedside research and industrial applications.
…Honestly, I attend lots of meetings, but I haven't been nearly as enthusiastic as for the Festival of Genomics. What a sophisticated, but yet refreshing and sleek approach…
The festival can foster bringing likeminded people together in a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere. Focusing on interactions via panel discussions, highlighting interests and experience will likely lead to new collaborative efforts. My particular interest is to expand my network of colleagues and support new engagements in drug and diagnostic developments routed in personalized medicine.
I am honored to be a part of the Festival of Genomics, to help bring the clinical benefits of genomics and proteomics to patients and to advance the awareness and development of “omics” diagnostics and prognostics to improve healthcare for millions of patients worldwide.
FOG continues to define the genomic landscape of UK and the world. Is a pin on the map that enables me to track the tech advancements in this space. And of course catch up with all my friends!
