I am confused about what the goal of this event was. Was it to have scientists learn from each other? The range of topics was so diverse and therefore shallow enough that I doubt it would fill that role compared to the focused conferences. Was the goal to convince philanthropists to give more? The material was too complex for that and they didn't have the right people there. It is complicated to have philanthropists feel like they should give in an area where Paul is already funding a lot of things and most don't do science but rather specific diseases or universities. I agree the work is exciting and that you could understand it since you are broad and know these areas but I am still not sure what would be different if they didn't do the conference. I don't why the photos didn't come through.
