The Personal Genome Project has pioneered open sharing of fully consented genomic, biomic, trait and related information. This powerful and collaborative approach is accelerating progress of important biomedical research. Join our diverse panel of scientific visionaries & leaders to discuss the challenges and amazing potential of open-data genomics, biomics, and cutting-edge research of life, body, brain and mind.

Conference check-in begins at 8:00 AM, and the conference program will begin at 9:00 AM.

Thanks to our amazing sponsors, all registration is now free!
(We are still accepting donation-based registrations, and since the Mind First Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit, all donations are tax-deductible!)

Meet leaders and pioneers in genomics, microbiomics, neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, participatory research, citizen science, and open-access research.

Learn how to use your own data to contribute to research around the world.
