Introduction:
aboratory Automation and Screening Europe 2025 (SLAS Europe 2025) brings together a unique European community from academia, industry and government to foster collaboration, inspire innovation and shape the future of life sciences. Biologists, technologists, engineers, principal investigators, lab managers, professors and graduate students join forces to explore new technologies to accelerate their scientific discoveries. Technology and hardware suppliers can also find new collaborators and customers and have the opportunity to connect with European users.
SLAS's interdisciplinary association of researchers will enthusiastically engage with developers and providers of laboratory automation technologies and tools to share cutting-edge ideas and breakthroughs and tackle challenges together.
It's a great opportunity to showcase your innovations, meet future partners and connect with users who rely on your technology; at the same time, SLAS Europe 2025 is an effective European gateway to powerful connections, insights and opportunities in the field of laboratory automation.
Why Exhibit?
1. Access & Visibility
Connect with more than 1,200 attendees from the European life sciences community. More than 70% of attendees said attending the SLAS Europe Conference and Exhibition is important for their organization and 82% indicated a high-level of satisfaction with the event!
2. Educate
Exhibitors receive access to the full event and are invited to attend all educational sessions, view the posters, participate in topical interest group discussions and networking events.
3. Network
Join discussions and interact with attendees inside the exhibit hall, at after-hours networking events and during educational sessions. SLAS welcomes all exhibitors to a dedicated exhibitor-only pre-event workshop and a conference reception to help you better connect with other technology providers and better understand the demographics of this year’s registered attendees. Networking isn’t limited to attendees; networking with your fellow technology providers brings countless opportunities for collaboration!
