Programmable Biology: The Digital Summit

​​We’re bringing together leaders in genome engineering, biopharma, AI, DNA synthesis, automation, biomanufacturing, and cell engineering to explore how biology is becoming a programmable discipline. As the field moves beyond traditional synthetic biology, these emerging technologies are opening new paths to improve human health and strengthen planetary sustainability.

The summit features a mix of live and on-demand sessions, AI-enabled networking, 1:1 partnering, and interactive showcases from innovators advancing biotechnology. We welcome researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and technologists to join us and gain a clear perspective on the tools, ideas, and people shaping the future of biology.

Whether you’re part of our long-standing community or joining for the first time, you’re in the right place to experience the next wave of biological innovation.
