More Than Another Digital Labs Conference
AI is beginning to participate in scientific reasoning. Automation is moving from individual tasks towards connected and increasingly autonomous workflows. Computational experimentation is changing when and how physical experiments are performed. And the volume of scientific data continues to grow faster than our ability to turn it into understanding. The question is therefore no longer simply “How do we digitalize the laboratory? “It is: What becomes of the scientific laboratory when AI, automation and computational experimentation become native capabilities? The 2nd Digital Labs Summit Europe brings together the people responsible for answering that question inside pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life-sciences R&D.
The Digital Labs Summit Europe is a focused meeting for senior professionals working at the intersection of science, laboratory operations, digital transformation, data, informatics, AI and automation. The programme combines forward-looking discussion with practical implementation experience. Across two days, participants will hear directly from pharma, biotech and research organizations about what is working, what remains difficult, and what needs to change as the laboratory evolves from digitally enabled to increasingly intelligent.
