Talkaoke is back at the 9th annual Festival of Genomics & Biodata in London on Wednesday 24th January and Thursday 25th January 2024.

The Festival is the annual get-together for the entire genomics and biodata community to discover, meet, learn and celebrate!

The Festival will bring you inspirational speakers, the latest research and clinical breakthroughs, cutting edge technology and incredible networking opportunities.

Free for 90% of attendees, the Festival is designed to help you return to work, armed with dozens of new ideas and contacts, but also to keep you engaged, excited and proud of the difference your efforts make for patients.

What is Talkaoke?

Talkaoke is a live, television-style talk show and a creative communication format developed by The People Speak art collective from East London. Talkaoke can enliven any event, festival, club, gallery, conference or a street. Talkaoke is a unique way to hear the latest ideas people are talking about and to discover new ones together. The conversation is a creative medium and a journey from one unexpected subject to another. It can be topical, funny, deep, surreal, or something else. The participants generate the subjects and the host in the middle keeps everybody engaged. The format is simple: the host sits in the middle of an illuminated round table, and you sit around the outside and talk about whatever comes up. Just grab the microphone and air your views.
