I love BiohackingCongress in Silicon Valley because each speaker seems to be getting short and to the point like information-dense. Then you bring the panels up so we can interact with them. I love it. Great speakers, you brought a really good mix.I sit here knowing a lot of this information, it's like refreshing in my brain, so you guys did an incredible job!

I really enjoyed the lineup of speakers that we had this weekend. I’ve learned so much from them - panels, presentations, and different topics. We went beyond biohacking. So I really enjoyed this weekend. I will be at BiohackingCongress in Miami. And Miami in October is beautiful, the weather starts to get nice. So Miami in October is an incredible place to biohack together. I want to see you there!

The Biohacking Congress in Las Vegas offered a great opportunity to connect and network with bloggers and other vendors. It certainly also let us introduce our products to the attendees. We appreciate the professionalism, the support, and the networking focus the Biohacking Congress provided.

I have had the opportunity and pleasure of working with the team from Biohacking Congress at shows in Miami and Las Vegas. Julia and Mick could not have been better partners. They have a particular affinity connecting my brand to the biohacking community through influencer partnerships that is untouched by any other partners. Their events are well executed, and their team is excellent during the run up to the event communicating keeping my team informed of all details. We walk away from the events with a load of content and good contacts in the biohacking influencer community.  If you’re trying to build a brand in the biohacking space, you really should consider a partnership with Biohacking Congress!

BiohackingCongress is a phenomenal conference that we highly recommend to anyone looking to grow and built a community in the industry. We have been a loyal partner for 3 years and built many great relationships which generated a lot of growth for us as a company. Education and relationships are high objectives at this conference that we found very applicable in our business.

I'm still buzzing from the Biohacking Congress event in Menlo Park last week! The speakers were incredibly knowledgeable and provided such value in their lectures, the vendors were extremely high-quality offering biohacking goodies to take home, the attendees were just lovely, and it was so refreshing to connect in-person with my biohacking fam! I can't wait to attend the next Biohacking Congress in the Spring!

BiohackingCongress in London gathered all the European most influential biohackers, experts, and leaders in one place. To share ideas, insights, and trends. The event was valuable for its speakers’ content. But almost underappreciated is the communications and networking part in non-formal conversations during the breaks. So many valuable topics and themes were discussed before and after the official part. Two thumbs up!

Thank's to Julia and the team at the BiohackingCongress for a great event. The Recharge team had a great time showing the FlexBeam, presenting on red light therapy and meeting all the top speakers and biohackers - we are looking forward to the next event - very well organized and a lot compacted into one day. Inspiring!
