Our Take
Why Exhibit
The leading US genomics gathering, bringing 2,500+ professionals from pharma, biotech, and research under one roof. If you sell sequencing platforms, bioinformatics tools, or precision medicine diagnostics, FoG Boston puts you in front of the researchers and clinicians driving adoption. The free-ticket model ensures high attendance density.
Why Skip
Small show with limited commercial buying authority -- most attendees are researchers, not procurement decision-makers. Booth pricing is opaque and likely premium given the niche audience. US-only genomics companies may get better ROI at ASHG or AACR.
Insider Tips
This is a research-heavy conference, not a trade show. Exhibitors should focus on lead generation and relationship-building rather than transactional sales. Boston BCEC is a union venue -- plan for drayage costs.
