Increase efficiency, enhance connectivity & drive superior quality in the modern lab

This past April, Lab Transformation experts came together in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to discuss their Lab Digitalization journeys and what challenges they're facing in preparing their labs for the future.

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.

From 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, the intimate forum allowed for a handpicked group of lab leaders to 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.
