Biohacker Summit Tokyo Postponed to October 2025
Biohacker Summit Tokyo Postponed
Summary & Key Takeaways
Biohacker Summit Tokyo, first set for October 2024, is postponed to October 2025 for safety.
The reason: an August 8th, 2024 JMA advisory after a 7.1-magnitude quake off Kyushu, plus a 5.3 quake in Tokyo the next day.
2024 tickets stay valid for 2025. Attendees may instead transfer to Biohacker Summit 2025 in Tallinn (May or June 2025).
Biohacker Summit Tokyo Postponed to October 2025: A Necessary Precaution
Due to recent seismic activity and the subsequent advisory from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the Biohacker Summit Tokyo, initially scheduled for October 2024, has been postponed to October 2025. We made this decision with the safety of all participants, speakers, and partners as our priority.
Seismic Activity and Safety Concerns
On August 8th, 2024, the JMA issued an unprecedented advisory warning of an increased risk of a significant earthquake following a 7.1-magnitude quake off the southern island of Kyushu. The concern is that this could be a foreshock to a larger quake, possibly reaching a magnitude of 9.1 and potentially triggering a tsunami. Although such advisories are not predictions, their statistical concern has led to significant caution, particularly given Japan’s history of seismic activity.
The day after this advisory, Tokyo experienced a 5.3 magnitude earthquake, raising concerns about the possibility of more significant, interconnected seismic events. While these earthquakes occurred on different fault lines, the historical precedent of significant earthquakes leading to further natural disasters, such as the 1707 eruption of Mt. Fuji, has amplified concerns.
These developments have attracted significant international media attention, from The New York Times to the BBC, highlighting the potential risks for international travelers and event logistics.
Impact on Biohacker Summit Tokyo
Given the uncertainty and the potential risks, we have postponed the Biohacker Summit Tokyo to 2025. Based on the force majeure outlined in our General Terms of Participation, this decision aims to ensure the safety and peace of mind of all attendees, exhibitors, and partners. The new date for the Tokyo event is expected to be in October 2025, with the exact dates to be announced as soon as they are confirmed.
Options for Attendees and Exhibitors
For those who have already secured their tickets and participation in the 2024 event, you don't need to do anything. Your tickets will be valid for the rescheduled event in 2025. If preferred, attendees and exhibitors can request to transfer their participation to the Biohacker Summit 2025 in Tallinn, expected in May or June 2025. Details for the Tallinn event will be announced by September 2024.
We know this causes inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety. We're committed to delivering an exceptional Biohacker Summit in 2025 and look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo next year under safer circumstances.
