Announcing GATC: The Genetic Agency Technology Conference

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 won’t be a dry conference where you sit passively listening to long-winded talks. We assume that everyone who comes will bring expertise and a goal, and that we need each other in order to succeed. Our emphasis will be on connection, conversation, and peer learning, in carefully designed, highly participatory sessions. We’ll also 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.
