Drawing on our established 5-year events in the series, the 6th LAFM returned for more content, new case-studies, 50+ speakers, and a brand-new track.

LAFM is the leading peer led community specifically curated for those making R&D tick, from large pharma to start-ups, research institutes to CROs; working together to ensure R&D success through transformative lab management. Covering daily firefighting, to advanced strategies to help boost your lab sustainability and digital transformation, to facilitate your next lab design, inventory tracking and procurement strategy. This is the only end-to-end meeting addressing holistic content coverage across lab operations, facilities, EHS, procurement & lab IT.

With the news of facility expansion including Eli Lilly investing $450m in their North Carolina facility, AstraZeneca planning for their Coppell facility expansion and Lonza x Vertex’s new Pease facility, juxtaposing a funding crunch time for biopharma, there’s never been more responsibility put upon all lab operation professionals to ensure science can continue; whether you’re optimizing resources or scaling out.

That’s why the likes of COO, Cambridge at Eli Lilly, Head of Project Management Global Operations at Seagen and Chief of Staff at Interius Biotherapeutics and joined the 2023 LAFM speaker faculty for the first time to help you benchmark best practices and find novel solutions, no matter your organization size or complexity.

Covering daily firefighting, to advanced strategies to help boost your lab sustainability, and digital transformation to facilitate your inventory tracking and procurement strategy, this is the only end-to-end meeting addressing holistic content coverage across lab operations, facilities, EHS, procurement & lab IT.
