What your audience gets

Wellness talks people actually want to hear

DNA makes wellness personal. Our talks show why the same advice can land so differently on different bodies, and what each person can do with that.

1. They get curious

DNA turns broad topics into questions about themselves.

2. They get it

Plain language, no genetics degree needed.

3. They use it

Every session ends with something to put to use.

What our clients say

  • The talk from ConnectingDNA is very beneficial to my clients and team because we understand how our DNA can affect our career, and relationships. They are also very easy to work with.
    Dave Kong Banking Lead of Maybank Branches, SG
  • The talk is very meaningful as I learned that from our DNA we are better aware of what nutrients we lack and earlier detection of anomalies in our health.
    Kerrie CT Tan Business Marketing Manager, Prudential
  • ConnectingDNA was such an interesting and insightful session! Our members were genuinely interested and we had some really good conversations after the talk as well. Would definitely be happy to collaborate again! 😊

Questions

Before you book Plain answers

How much does a talk cost?

Talks start at S$800 for one hour. Ask us for a quote for your event. We're open to discussing the fee for the right partnership. If we travel to you, you cover travel and accommodation.

Ask for a quote 

Do you give talks online, and for how many people?

Yes. We give talks in person, online or hybrid, for 10 to 200 people. Please book at least two weeks before your event.

Which languages can the talk be in?

Cedric speaks mainly in English. In Mandarin, the same talk is given by a speaker of equal standing from our company or network.

What do you need from us on the day?

For a talk in person, a screen or projector for the slides, a microphone, and seats that face the screen. We can record the talk or share the slides case by case, depending on the terms we agree for your event.

Can you do more than a talk?

Yes. Attendees can take a DNA test before or after the talk: we help each person prepare their sample and mail it out for them. They can buy on the day, or we can price the tests into your event or offer a discount.

We can also set up a booth with our own products or solutions from partner brands in our ecosystem, or turn the day into a festival or a marketplace event.

See our plans and prices 

Will our organisation see anyone's DNA results?

No, unless the attendee chooses to share them. Each person's report goes into their own Bio-Profile, and only they can open it. Our systems are ISO 27001 certified. We recommend they keep their login private and secure.
