With 20% of Estonia&#8217;s adult population contributing, the biobank stands as a vital resource for cutting-edge medical science globally.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late in the year 2000, when it was clear that we can go ahead with the preparation of the Estonian Genome Project, Dr. Jaanus Pikani and I pondered over how to foster public engagement within Estonia and draw global attention. Obvious solution was, of course, to organize an international human genomics conference, which would attract participants from Estonia and speakers from abroad.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My prior experience in organizing the international HUGO workshop on microarrays in 1999 in Tartu, which attracted a global audience including attendees from California, bolstered my confidence that a compelling program would indeed encourage visitors to journey to this far-away corner of the Europe. Dr. Pikani brought invaluable insights from his role as the organizer of the P\u00e4rnu Management Conference, which initially influenced our conference format, including having speakers seated on stage during sessions. However, we soon transitioned to a more conventional format with solo speakers on stage. A steadfast tradition was established to extend invitation to one Estonian scientist who works abroad (with the hope to welcome them back in future!) and one Estonian speaker &#8211; \u201ca local star\u201d<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the span of 24 years, the conference has welcomed more than 400 eminent speakers from 34 different countries, including Nobel Prize laureates such as Rolf M. Zinkernagel and Svante P\u00e4\u00e4bo. Over the years, we have also included technology industry representatives, fnancial and start-up experts to present these fields to the local academic community.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Academician Andres Metspalu<\/strong><br \/>Institute of Genomics, University of Tartu<br \/>Professor of Genomics and Biobanking<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-315cc7a elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"315cc7a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9acfd7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"9acfd7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
