Discover Fusion

It’s hard to capture the Fusion experience unless you’re actually part of it, so we have created a series of videos so you can virtually immerse yourself in our world of conferences. Don’t just take our word for it, hear why our amazing attendees love Fusion, and why they return year after year. 

Behind the Science: Meet Fusion

What is it really like at a Fusion conference? Our attendees share their own experiences, from hearing the latest cutting-edge findings to forming genuine connections in our collaborative setting.

Scientists who have been attending for years share what they value most; hearing unpublished research from world-renowned experts, our commitment to supporting junior researchers, and the intimate atmosphere that encourages real collaboration. Hear firsthand about our carefully chosen venues around the world and the personal touch that comes from being family-run. From seasoned researchers to those presenting their first poster, you'll see why attendees call Fusion special and why our community feels like family.

‘Fusion is providing a uniquely valuable set of conferences for the scientific community. As funding goes through the floor, it will be even more critical to collaborate more and compete less. So the effective communication and the trust that can best come from the agenda and organization of in-person Fusion conferences is quite important for science as an international positive effort’ John Tainer (MD Anderson Cancer Center)

Why Our Attendees Return Year After Year

Our returning delegates share what keeps them coming back year after year, and it's more than just great science. Hear directly from researchers who have found something special at Fusion: a genuine community where lasting friendships develop alongside professional collaborations.

Unlike large-scale conferences where you might feel lost in the crowd, Fusion creates an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels part of the family. Our attendees describe the comfort of reconnecting with familiar faces and the excitement of building new partnerships in an environment that supports open discussion. From first-time attendees to those who have been with us since 2013, you'll understand why they call Fusion conferences valuable for networking and genuinely precious experiences that feel like coming home.

What Makes a Conference Unforgettable?

Our attendees and team share the elements that consistently make Fusion stand out, from our thoughtfully sized meetings to spectacular venues.

Researchers share how Fusion has directly contributed to their work and why they feel comfortable sharing their latest unpublished findings in our welcoming environment. From the thank-you emails we receive calling our events "the best conference I have ever been to" to the genuine connections formed on-site, see how our attention to detail in planning creates lasting value for every attendee and the broader scientific community.

What our past delegates have said

  • "Thank you so much for organizing once again, such a spectacular meeting. There was not a dull moment, there was not an awkward moment. The talks were uniformly outstanding. The atmosphere was positive and collegial throughout, from breakfast conversations to coffee breaks, and poster sessions to question time. My student James was definitely left starry-eyed. Thanks again for including us. Congratulations on a brilliant job!"

    Balancing Genome Fidelity & Plasticity Conference

  • "Fusion conferences are very special. With smaller numbers attending, it’s easier for students and postdocs to have the opportunity for meaningful interactions with speakers. For me, an added bonus is also connecting with fellow speakers which often leads to new collaborations. The science thrives in excellent locations, supported by the Fusion team’s care to ensure everything runs smoothly. Focussing on the science in a setting conducive for interactions really marks these conferences out as special."

  • "Thanks so much again for such an amazing conference! I learned a lot and met so many nice people. I really liked the small and close format – it allowed me to network with a lot of PIs which will hopefully open some career opportunities in the future!"
