The iGEM Grand Jamboree, hosted last year in Paris, France, represents a new way of sharing and communicating science. The global event for young synthetic biologists blends the serious biotech of a traditional conference with the spontaneous energy of a music festival, fostering a kind of World's Fair for the built-with-biology future. The broader biotech community should take inspiration from iGEM and seek to enrich more of our public communications and professional events with iGEM-like humanity, authenticity, and fun.
