The Global Community Bio Summit

A space for the global community of DIY biologists / community biologists / biohackers / biomakers and members of independent and community laboratories to convene, plan, build fellowship, and continue the evolution of our movement.

This year, our all-virtual event will build on the success of previous Bio Summits and once again create a place for our community to work, learn, and play together.

Explore this website to learn about the many engaging talks and workshops we have planned, browse some wonderful art, say hello to other members of the community, and make sure you join the conversation on Slack and social media!

STATEMENT OF SHARED PURPOSE

This Statement of Shared Purpose (v3.0) was co-created together with the 350+ participants of Bio Summit 2.0 in 2018. It is an important draft to help our global family communicate and make explicit the implicit, and articulate what brings us all together.
