Laboratory Automation Virtual Event Series 2023

Welcome to the 7th Annual Event in the Laboratory Automation Virtual Event Series; a free virtual conference for professionals interested in the most recent technologies for today’s labs. Lab 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 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.

This year's event includes the following tracks and topics:

  • Microfluidics: Current and Upcoming Technologies
  • Automation and New Methods to Achieve IT
  • Accelerate Compliance with Laboratory Software, LIMS and Automation
    • Cyber Security

Call for Posters
Virtual poster sessions offer the opportunity to present data to a global audience via a PDF poster and video summary, and discuss results with interested colleagues through email. Plan now to have your poster included in the 2023 Laboratory Automation & Informatics Virtual Event. Submit your abstract here.

Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open for 2 years from the date of the live event, and the webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global labratory automation community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
