November 11th in Boston.
We are building a world with genetic agency: where patients can transform their health using genetic technologies that are safe, effective and accessible to all. We believe that building a world with genetic agency can’t be done by any one actor: we need a strong ecosystem, working together to turn powerful emerging technologies into patient impact.
We are hosting a unique inaugural one-day conference, as a first step in fostering a community of people and organizations who are committed to moving things forward. We’ll be bringing together a carefully-selected group of leaders from various sectors: therapeutic developers, technical experts, and most importantly, patients, patient families and patient advocates.
This will be a little different than most conferences. We’ll emphasize connection, conversation, and peer learning over information delivery. There will be carefully designed highly participatory sessions, and lots of opportunity for informal conversation. Our assumption is that everyone who comes will bring expertise and a goal, and that we all need each other in order to succeed. We’ll have world-class experts like George Church in attendance. You’ll leave the event with many new ideas, and even more importantly, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to the community you need to move your goals ahead.
This is an invitation-only event, but we will be posting a form in the coming weeks where anyone can apply for an invitation.
We will share more details about the event in the coming weeks.
