SmartLab Exchange USA 2025 | IQPC | 8 April 2025 | Le Méridien, 1825 Griffin Rd, Dania Beach, FL 33004, USA

Few words describe so much and are so misunderstood as ‘Lab Digitalization.’ R&D and Quality leaders must contend with coordinating new LIM’s with old legacy systems, driving enthusiasm for the adoption of new tech, while making sure that data can still be transferred from the old.

Every lab sits at a different point in their digital journey and every lab will face the same challenges with building their own ‘Lab of the Future’. Whether your lab is automating with robotics or upgrading pen and paper to a modern LIMS; data analytics, change management and automation are universal struggles.

Whether building interfaces for differing LIM’s to connect to one another, or driving adoption of new systems to technicians, digitalization is fundamentally a collaborative task.

With 2.5 days of collaborative content, join our intimate forum to engage with a handpicked group of lab leaders as you discuss how to make the road to Digital Nirvana as smooth as possible

Whether you are learning from world-leading lab processes, looking for solutions to the common pitfalls of data analytics or determining the best strategies to guide adoption of revolutionary lab technology, the Exchange’s multi-industry discussion will introduce new ideas and across-pollinate innovation to every lab that needs it
Finding the right solutions for digital analytics and digital connections is the challenge. Finding the right personal connections and expert analytics is the solution. Connect with us industry peers at the event to take the next step on the road to digital nirvana.
