What participants said about 💊THE FIX 2025
On September 18 2025, the first-ever VOYAGERS health-tech festival, 💊THE FIX, brought 750 health-tech professionals to Harwell Science Campus for a magical day of networking, storytelling and science-celebrating. Here are some of the responses we received:
“THE FIX turned out to be the best HealthTech event I’ve been to. Truly loved how the whole festival allowed conversations to flow.” – J.S.
“That’s how to do a ‘conference’ – make it a festival! A day of better connections with people, briefer more interesting stories from speakers, and fab interactive workshops. Great food, being outdoors, music, dancing and Senegalese drumming. Such an inspiring and diverse group of people.” – N.R.
“THE FIX was a shot in the arm. The best part – the remarkable people. I just loved the serendipity-chats in the queues and on the margins – met some lovely people, lots of clinical credibility, lots of entrepreneurial ambition. Have spent all week following up.” – J.B.
“Perfect day. Great venue, hosts, speakers and guests. Mind-blowingly well organised.” – P.S.
“Absolutely fantastic day! Truly inspiring.” – C.V.
“THE FIX was amazing – SUCH a great idea and such a success.” – M.H-R.
“A health-tech festival like no other – a cross between a science fair and a summer festival rather than a traditional conference. Think tents, circles of conversation, reverse pitches, un-conference sessions, and a buzz of creativity and networking.” – S.S.
“THE FIX was insightful, unconventional and a true celebration of healthcare innovation over ‘sickcare’. The passion for transforming healthcare was clear from everyone involved. Mind-blowing stuff! So memorable.” – C.C.
“What a day! A chance to swap laptops for lanyards and sunshine – and boy did it deliver. We left buzzing with ideas, new connections, and maybe a few grass stains.” – T.M.
“AMAZING day. Had way too much fun.” – L.L.

“Had a fantastic day.” – A.H.

“If I have to sit through one more ‘health conference’ with 80-slide decks, grey carpets, uniform presenters and a buffet of beige sandwiches… count me out. We need better ways to spend our creative energy. Healthcare deserves better. That’s why THE FIX hit different. It’s time to rip up the rulebook.” – N.K.

“Looks like festivals are the new conferences, and I for one am fully on board. A great success. From sharing industry knowledge to group meditations to exercising our new breakdancing skills, we had a blast, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year.” – E.C.F.
“What an incredible day. This is how to do conferences – as non-conferences. Inclusive, welcoming, inspiring spaces, built for anyone hustling to build a better future.” – G.P.

“Thank you for creating such an inclusive, engaging, and memorable health-tech festival. Everyone I met was fabulous; working hard for their cause but very much still human underneath it all and everyone seemed to really value connections made on the day.” – L.F.G.
