Are you Ready for the Lab of the Future?
As organizations across industries such as pharma, biotech, chemicals, cosmetics and food & beverage seek to redefine the way research and labs operate, it is crucial that they are able to keep their finger on the pulse regarding new technologies, systems and processes to increase the speed of innovation.

In order to truly capitalize on the promise of tomorrow’s lab, organizations are tasked with managing, standardizing and analyzing a complex volume of data to inform decision making, building greater connectivity throughout the lab through automation, as well as harnessing digital technologies to unlock new ways of working and unshackle the scientist from the bench.

The Smartlab Exchange brings together some of the leading minds responsible spearheading innovative laboratory strategies across the R&D/R&D IT, Manufacturing and QA/QC space for two days packed with idea-sharing and informal networking, arming attendees with the stimulus they need to drive forward innovation within their respective organizations.
