THE FIX 2025
is a health-tech festival celebrating the best of health science and start-ups, organised by the not-for-profit VOYAGERS community.
** Early-Bird ticket rates available until 20th February 2025 **
THE FIX is a hands-on, practical, mind-expanding, friendship-building, exploratory, curiosity-led, science-based, creative, artistic, participatory, decentralised, experimental, edgy, live, risky, urgent and unpredictable gathering of the talented people working on health technologies.
THE FIX is not a conference, don’t expect dull panels or crappy coffee. Health-tech is too important to waste time. Instead, we designed a festival to help participants make new friends, experience science in action, learn and share your knowledge, to inspire and be inspired. Bring your most engaged and curious festival mindset.
As well as speakers, THE FIX will feature a rich day of activities including inspiring stories, expert workshops, product demonstrations, musical performances, art installations, a participant-led “unconference”, tours of the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, a start-up pitch competition, speed networking and an evening party. This really will be the hottest event on campus!
Last year, at THE FIX’s sister climate-tech festival, THE HEAT, participants met nuclear-fusion start-ups, tasted future foods, witnessed carbon capture, experience climate-robotics demonstrations and much more. If you’re working in health-tech, save the date to be part of the celebrations.
Agenda outline:
- Keynote talks: Compelling stories, shared in 10-minute keynotes and ono-on-one interviews.
- An “unconference”: Participants run sessions they’ve proposed including workshops, discussions, talks, science demos, or whatever you’re excited by. This is the ‘open-source’ part of the day, tapping into the knowledge, creativity and thoughtfulness of the crowd.
- Music, art and performance: All your senses will be stimulated. Enjoy a wide range of entertainment and continue networking until later in the evening. (Want to perform? Get in touch here).
- Workshops: Breakout workshops led by industry leaders with specialist skills to share.
- Speed networking and office hours: Let serendipity bring you valuable connections.
