Transforming Data into Smart Data: From the Cloud to Mobile Devices, Utilising New Technologies To Improve Knowledge Sharing

Our research shows that the on-going economic recession and an increase in global competition means that whether developing new drugs, cosmetics, food, beverages or chemicals, companies are under constant pressure to increase productivity whilst cutting costs, streamline their organisation, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

Combined with the challenges of working with external parties, big data and an upsurge in M&A, lab environments are under more scrutiny than ever before and data standardisation and integration is all the more difficult.

Through real-life case studies, round-table discussions and practical workshops, the 2014 SmartLab Exchange will help industry practitioners find ways to implement new technologies to improve efficiency and manage the exponential increase of big data.

The SmartLab Exchange is an invitation-only forum where 80 Heads of R&D, QA/QC and senior Laboratory Informatics professionals from the food & beverage, consumer goods, cosmetics, chemicals, pharmaceutical and biotech industries meet to share ideas and best practices.

During the Exchange, attendees will discover the future trends of the lab informatics market from Michael Shanler, Research Director at Gartner; find out the successes and challenges that Northern Ireland Water faced when becoming a paperless lab; share best practices with the Head of Research Data Operations at Bayer Crop Science on how to work together with third parties and effectively exchange data; join a round-table discussion led by John Wise, Executive Director at Pistoia Alliance on how to integrate mobile devices in lab projects; and learn how Procter & Gamble are turning big data into business intelligence.

The Smartlab Exchange, along with strategic media partner International Labmate, invite you to attend the Exchange in Munich, February 25 - 26.

Invitations are limited and going fast, please contact us on +44 (0)207 368 9484, send an email to [email protected] or visit www.smartlabexchange.com/labmate for information on how you can join the industry's most progressive leaders in discussing the future of laboratory informatics.
