AN UN-CONFERENCE FOR THE REBELS
The Biopunk Conference is a gritty, hands-on gathering of biotech rebels and builders. No suits, no fluff—think Burning Man with lab coats.
We’re here to ask big questions (“What matters most?” “What’s broken?”).
Bring your weirdest project and toughest skin for honest, constructive chaos.
Expect epic fails, wild ideas, and a push to make biotech real for everyone.
TRACKS
-
EPIC FAILS
Hear raw stories of biotech flops—failed startups, crashed dreams, no sugarcoating. Founders and tinkerers share what tanked and why. It’s about learning from the mess, not preaching. Bring your own scars.
-
OPEN BIO
Biotech’s too exclusive. This track’s about practical ways to open it up—DIY tools, cheap hacks, and education for outsiders. Think DNA printing in broke places or garages anywhere. We’re making it scrappy and real.
-
HERETIC IDEAS
This is for the oddballs—big questions, strange projects, and future bets no one’s touching. It’s unstructured and unfiltered: basement biohacks, hot takes, and zero rules. The future’s messy—jump in.
