Lab Automation Virtual Event Series 2018

Our 2nd Annual Event in the Lab Automation 2018 Virtual Event Series. Virtual Conference is now available On Demand!

This is a free virtual conference for professionals interested in the most recent technologies for today’s labs. Laboratory automation is a multi-disciplinary approach benefiting from technologies in the lab that facilitate new and improved processes.

The technology present in laboratories is imperative to timely research and data output. This encore event will further the discussion of the advancements made regarding instrumentation and methodologies used to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of research in the lab.

Those Laboratory automation professionals, including those in academia, industry and clinically-based researchers, scientists and engineers, will learn and develop new technologies to increase productivity, improve data quality, and reduce manual lab processes for more reliable results.

Topics for this years event included:

  • High Throughput Screening 
  • Robotics
  • Emerging Trends
  • Organs on a Chip


Our on-demand virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. You can participate in exactly those parts which you are interested in and be back at your desk or bench in an instant. Virtual events remove time and place restrictions and ensure that everyone who wants to participate can do so. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global automation community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
