Microbiome Connect: Where innovation meets industry

The ability to bring so many actively engaged professionals together for the purpose of supporting the collective knowledge in a progresssive environment made this event very special 

The best thing about the event is the opportunity to network with people that, if we were to have to go visit as a company, we’d have to travel the world to meet – but they’re all congregated here so we have a good op to visit with them and exchange ideas and to collaborate with them.

An amazing event, bringing you close to industrial representatives and providing you with the opportunity to not only understand what companies are doing but also to talk with them in engage in discussion. What a great networking opportunity!

It has been an exciting event. It’s an interesting piece bring together different kinds of companies – big pharma, start-up companies and even, now, technology companies, like Antelliq, that are representing big data and the high-tech touch, so it’s an excellent convergence form all these types of companies.

This conference had the perfect mix of technical and practical presentations. I look forward to attending in person. 

“This summit is a wonderful opportunity to learn about exciting innovations on the horizon and connect with potential collaborators in Women’s Health.”

The ESG Risk Management Summit was a fantastic experience. The attendees, participants, content, and overall dialogue offered priceless insights into how thought leaders are blazing new trails in risk assessment, management, disclosure, and reporting as they confront the challenges of climate change.

In the innovation-driven Life Science industry, a company’s IP litigation strategy serves to support its long-term business interests. This requires smart, cost-effective decisions, a profound understanding of the litigation process, and alignment of in-house and outside litigation counsel. Kisaco Research has a unique approach of aligning with IP professionals to ensure conferences feature current law practice and industry trends, and I am honored to contribute to this community strategic considerations and expert recommendations from my 10+ years life science patent practice

The AI Hardware Summit is one of the most unique conferences in the industry in the way that it maintains a strong technical depth on the talks and attracts industry leaders, from the big companies to up and coming startups. It is the only place where you can make the right business connections and learn from luminaries in the AI hardware space. 

The networking at the Petcare Innovation Summit was amazing. My team came back energized and excited for all the new connections that were made.

The sessions were engaging and conference well organized. I met even more people than I'd expected and am leaving with entirely new perspectives. The opportunity to share our work with such an impressive and industry-oriented crowd was unparalleled.

Companies that haven’t come to the event yet need to realise that it’s an investment and it will really broaden their horizons. This is a group of people that have been in the industry along time, and also a group of new people that are just starting out, and if they’re not here for that conversation they’re really missing that the breadth that I just don’t think they can get anywhere else. This is a really unique opportunity for them!

This is the one event that brings everybody together and the discussions help everyone get a lot more educated. 

This event is becoming a reference in the field, with high scientific content and fruitful networking

“This summit is a wonderful opportunity to learn about exciting innovations on the horizon and connect with potential collaborators in Women’s Health.”

The Privacy-Enhancing Technology Summit provided a great insight into the current state-of-the-art and the various speakers covered the topic from different perspectives.

I really enjoyed the diversity of attendees backgrounds ad work experience, from deep tech to customer-facing roles. One of the main challenges for the wide adoption of PETs is to connect people working on the technologies they rely on with those who develop or deploy concrete solutions, and this event was one of the rare an precious opportunities to do that.

If you are looking to meet new pettech startups and the investment community that supports them this is the meeting for you. It was well run and I was able to meet the people that I wanted to meet. 

For the first time over a few years, the main pioneers of secure computing were together in the same room. Very little time was left to breathe.

After 3 years of pandemic, great to get connected in physical with peers, academics,  and technology expert on PETs. Workshop a bit short in timing but really interesting especially discussion on the benefits but also the challenge and barriers PETs user may face.

Just come along to one of these events and you’ll be hooked and definitely want to visit more of them – especially once you have a chance to meet everybody here and engage with the industry!

This event has quickly emerged as THE conference for all things fast and efficient for processing deep neural networks. The content is a nice blend of technology, solutions, and company strategies. 

I loved the targeted approach for an event like this. I thought the calibre of attendees was appropriate for the event. It offered a great chance to network with industry leaders. 

I really enjoyed connecting with colleagues in the field. I thought the venue was nicely maintained and comfortable in terms of COVID safety 

The conference was rich in content and attendees, representing industry professionals and service providers. The intimacy of the conference allowed for thoughtful and intriguing perspectives, impactful dialogue, and valuable connections.

“I expected high quality seminars, networking with top senior executives and advice on investment all of which were met and more. I would highly recommend this to any indie brand wanting exposure in front of the right people.”

Good variety of quality talks that were delivered in an easily accessible platform

This 2 day event was packed full of informative sessions and eye opening networking conversations. Seeing Women’s Health through many lenses is powerful, My colleagues and I feel like it was time and money well invested. 

The ESG Risk Management Conference North America was an invaluable experience and extremely timely as organizations prepare and respond to the evolving ESG regulatory landscape in the U.S. Each session was rich in content with relevant representation of industry professionals in the banking space. The setting and size of the conference allowed for meaningful conversations, intriguing insights on ESG, and practical connections. I certainly left the conference with new perspectives, a greater understanding of how ESG is taking form in the banking industry, and an expanded network of ESG professionals and thought leaders! 

I have been so impressed with all the innovations, listening to the Best in Show presentations, and seeing so much thought leadership going into the space

Presentations were excellent providing the right balance between practical examples and overall policy

Microbiome Connect is really exciting. It leads to new collaboration, and a chance to meet all of the companies in the microbiome space with a unifying perspective

This event really brought the PET community together and can act as a catalyst for bringing PETs to the market

Excellent opportunity to meet and talk to a wide range of potential customers. 

Having the opportunity to learn from more advanced industries and explore own use case ideas with providers.

Great participants, enough time to chat, excellent presentations and panels. Moses was 10 out of 10!

The AI Hardware Summit seems to be the best forum for serious AI hardware news and discussions among real influencers in the industry. This is one event where the level of technical know-how is at the right "level" for decision making in the AI data center - where the presentations, panels, discussions and networking opportunities are highly relevant. 

“I really enjoyed the experience: I met a lot of interesting people, listened to several very exciting speakers, learned about many outstanding upcoming brands.”

The event has been great, we’ve had the opportunity to meet a few people that we wouldn't ususally meet, and also to meet again with colleagues and clients we’ve been working with before, so it’s a great opportunity to be exposed as an organisation, but also to network and collaborate with different industries and different clients from within the industry. I think it’s been fantastic!

This event was great, there was a lot of opportunities to learn more about new fields from experts in the intellectual space. 

“I really enjoyed the experience: I met a lot of interesting people, listened to several very exciting speakers, learned about many outstanding upcoming brands.”

I really enjoyed both the sessions and networking opportunities. It’s a small community so getting everyone in a room together is incredibly valuable 

Really enjoyed meeting everybody working on PETs.

This event has quickly emerged as THE conference for all things fast and efficient for processing deep neural networks. The content is a nice blend of technology, solutions and company strategies. 

This event was full of great speakers and timely topics while also having a big focus on connecting and networking. 

The event was well organised and provided an invaluable opportunity for both academia and industry to come together and benefit from a wealth of combined expertise.

Many different presentations on various subjects within PET coming from representatives of a multitude of sectors.

I've acquired basic knowledge about PETs and potential applications on use cases applicable in my industry.  I could also network and establish some relationships.

I found the topics fascinating. This community is much smaller than I would have thought, and I learned about significant challenges that are faced by these organizations. This was a cool meeting. 

This year's AI Hardware Summit had a rock star lineup of speakers, and included a number of first ever disclosures of products and technologies. This is becoming a can't miss conference for the industry. 

“Well if you’re a young company networking is your lifeblood, it’s everything, it’s your next source of capital, it’s your next retailer, it’s your next creative developer, so I think this is a great forum specifically for that purpose.” 

The Petcare Innovation Summit was an amazing opportunity to make face-to-face connections safely as well as expand my knowledge about current activity and trends related to telemedicine and pet care innovation.

The Summit was very inspirational. It was well organised and got to know and learn from a lot of Researchers and industry specialists. 

This is one of those rare events where the value of the content and connections are front and center, rather than the optics for vendors. The focus on 1:1 networking meetings was incredibly valuable, especially for a new industry entrant.

I was sent to this event to learn how our organization can begin the journey that is ESG. Without knowing what to expect, I came away with a wide array of knowledge, best practices, and practical applications that will help my organization achieve ESG goals. Every delegate, speaker, and panelist I met were well informed and shared their knowledge and experience with me. And I met some colleagues that I can count on to share ESG information and best practices for the future. We are all in this together and that was a central theme of this program.

"It’s about the intel, to learn about the companies we don’t know about and to trade intelligence with the people and see new visionaries in the beauty space."

The ESG Risk Management Summit 2022 presented thought-provoking speakers with practical insights (beyond just theory), panel discussions were well-rounded with salient topics and it was a great opportunity to meet with others in the industry and share best practices, lessons learned and pathways to move forward (and stay above water) in the ever-evolving ESG landscape.

The event has been great. I really enjoyed the pre-conference workshops, and after that it just got better. We’ve had great interactions with the industry, and it’s really been a lot of fun!

Myself and Zama were really pleased to be a platinum sponsor of this year’s PETs Summit in Zurich. Privacy Enhancing Technologies really are the future of how we protect and preserve data across industries and geographies. It was a pleasure to meet and interact with colleagues from various backgrounds and to take part in conversations that are absolutely critical to the future of these groundbreaking solutions.

This was a perfect event and met all of my objectives for the conference easily given how well organized and structured and how well attended it was. I was really impressed and will certainly attend again and I learned a great deal each talk even those that I thought I may not need to attend I always learned a great deal and was grateful that I went to nearly all of the panels. 

Great mix of industry, academia, and governmental healthcare experts. Exciting to see the latest innovations! 

When you look at some of the ideas and concepts that are actually being presented, it is key to moving the industry forward. 

In terms of cost and value and being in the heart of Silicon Valley, it is the absolute best show in the world for Edge AI hardware and software. 

This event is a unique gathering of individuals from academia and industry who are collaborating to advance microbiome science. Kisaco has gone out of their way to include speakers and perspectives not found elsewhere. I look forward to attending again. 

I believe the last edition was really good. Exceptional organization, great content and fabulous speakers. I really enjoyed the 2021 edition!

It’s a unique forum to bring people together from different parts of the value chain in animal health – from small companies to large companies.

It’s a great place, you will make tons of great contacts; and if you’re not here you’re missing out!

The exposure to companies has been tremendous. This event opens Zoetis' eyes to a lot of new opportunities with companies that are focused on areas that meet pet owner needs.

Lots of high-quality talks, and a very targeted audience improves the chances of important conversations

“Honored to be recognized amongst a really  compelling slate of innovators. All bodes well for  the future of women’s health which is long overdue!”

Wonderful event to connect, learn and share the latest technology advancement in cyber security and data protection. Great venue to gain technical insight and use of cases from a diversity of experts. 

The summit was fantastic! The speakers were well selected, and the presentations were helpful especially as I begin viewing our business through the ESG lens.

Stellar keynote, interesting talks on "big problems" like throughput, AI model flexibility and energy consumption. Most of the relevant hardware startups were in attendance or presented, including a few new ones that I hadn't heard of! A good lineup. 

“We had a spectacular session on Personalization yesterday and were actually surprised with how many people engaged from different parts of the world, from Asia to North America, Europe and Africa. This only confirms there are really no boundaries of how far we can go in the digital world. With just over 480 people registering it was great to see that the average session duration was 51 minutes which shows attendees were really engaged from start to finish.”

“[Beauty Connect] is important to us, because it is the only vehicle in the market place today that is really identifying globally, the next generation of brands in today’s beauty world.”

It’s been really great to listen to industry experts talk about all areas of reproductive health and the networking sessions have been excellent. Glad to finally be doing this in person 

"Highly useful content – talks spanned from extremely technical discussions on formulation and particular ingredients, to more marketing/consumer focused discussions around brand and product positioning. A lot of great learnings and important discussions for this growing category!”

I really enjoyed the networking oppotunities and the format of the sessions and panel discussions. The conference really promotes good discussion amongst it's participants. 

"It was good to connect to others who are also formulating in this space, to share knowledge, opinions and discuss common frustrations. Also, good to hear from leaders that are defining the strategies."

This is the right place to come and launch and talk about the future. 

This Summit gives us a great vehicle to introduce ourselves and talk to more people

“What a stimulating event! A really well curated set of speakers ranging end-to-end from commercial opportunity to scientific and technical capability and market execution. Some very insightful case studies. We also loved the session of new tech pitches – great stuff!”

“As always, I am excited to engage with this community of inspiring women’s health innovators, and learn about the new solutions bridging the healthcare gap for women globally.”

I really appreciated the presentation of the business cases with PET. It highlights the challenges for PET integration.  

Fantastic panels of experts and great opportunities for networking! 

Very well organized, and I really liked the networking/plenary balance

There Was A Good Balance Of Clinical, Scientific And Business Presentations. Offering One To One Appointments With Other Delegates And Presenters Was A Good Idea.

“A great event to collaborate and share insights on key topics facing the industry today.”

It’s great to come to Microbiome Connect to find out what our competitors are doing and what are investors are looking out for

“[Beauty Connect] successfully drew together a well curated group of strategic buyers, acquisitive private equity firms, value added research firms, specialty investment banks and indie beauty brands in a format that allowed for attendees to build helpful relationships within the industry.”

What would I say to people that are not at this event? Shame on you - everybody else is!

I think this is the best place to be presenting because this is the animal health event. It has been a really excellent meeting!

"It was a great pleasure to work with the Kisaco team at the WH Innovation Summit 2021. Nathan and Rebecca were awesome partners and made the impossible possible, always supportive and trying to make our Innovation Forum a success. Through their network we were able to engage with many innovative companies and startups in the space of Women’s Health and FemTech. Looking forward to work again with you!"

This is the premier place where founders in the pet space are gathering

It was great getting together with experts and solution providers, finally in-person, in order to exchange on PET and to learn about most recent developments.

"There’s such a wealth of new start-up brands across all categories here today who are changing the shape of the beauty industry."
