The 21st Annual Broad Institute Scientific Retreat will take place in-person and via live stream Monday, December 15-Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
The retreat moves to Cambridge this year with talks at MIT's Kresge Auditorium and poster sessions at Broad's Merkin and Stanley buildings in Kendall Square.
This day-and-a-half retreat will be in-person and live streamed to accommodate our entire community. Attend this year’s retreat and experience the depth of Broad science while connecting with fellow Broadies.
The Broad Retreat is a closed meeting for members of the Broad community.
Members of the Broad community will receive an invitation to register via email in early fall.
Please submit talk ideas and speaker nominations via this form by Monday, July 21.
Watch last year's Retreat Primer recording. Registration for this year's primer will be posted this fall.
In accordance with our standard practices, if you are presenting unpublished work you believe may be patentable, please contact the Office of Strategic Alliances and Partnering to complete an Invention Disclosure Form.
About the Retreat
The retreat is free and open to all members of the Broad community, including Broad staff, academic affiliates, associate and institute members, and members of their labs.
As a reminder, please abstain from sharing pictures, data, or other information from Broad Retreat presentations on social media. It's a great privilege to get a sneak peek at our colleagues' breakthroughs before the rest of the world. Let's make sure all that unpublished science stays between us Broadies.
We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact Joana Quintal at retreat@broadinstitute.org.
Meet the Retreat planning committee.
