See what's next in lab automation at SLAS2027

New technologies. Real-world solutions. Fresh momentum.

January 30–February 3, 2027 | San Diego, California

The future of laboratory automation isn't just about working faster. It's about connecting technologies, integrating data, improving workflows and creating smarter, more efficient laboratories.

At SLAS2027 International Conference and Exhibition, you'll see how those advances are taking shape—and meet the companies and innovators making them happen.

Returning to the San Diego Convention Center, SLAS2027 brings together laboratory automation professionals, technology developers, researchers, lab managers and industry leaders for five days of innovation, education and discovery.

Explore the Technology. Meet the Innovators.

From robotics and automated liquid handling to high-content screening, AI-driven workflows, sample management and laboratory informatics, the SLAS2027 Exhibition, open February 1–3, puts the latest laboratory technologies within reach.

This is your opportunity to explore new products, compare solutions, see equipment in action and talk directly with the experts behind the technology.

And there's much more happening beyond the booths:

• Solutions Spotlight Presentations: Get a closer look at emerging products, applications and technologies as exhibitors demonstrate how their solutions address real laboratory challenges.
• Exhibitor Tutorials: Go deeper with practical presentations, technology demonstrations and application-focused learning led by industry experts.
• Innovation AveNEW: Meet 15 promising start-up companies developing fresh approaches to laboratory automation, life sciences research and drug discovery.
• SLAS Partnering Program: Add access to partneringONE to schedule private one-to-one meetings designed to foster technology partnerships, business development and investment opportunities.

NEW! NexusXp Takes the Main Stage

The expanded NexusXp: The Connected Lab experience, now featured on the conference's Main Stage, features headline presentations, flash talks, panels and real-world case studies, exploring the technologies and strategies making connected laboratories a reality.

Expect conversations about integrating robotics, AI, data systems and automated workflows—and practical insights into overcoming the challenges of implementation, scalability and interoperability.

For anyone working toward a more connected, intelligent or autonomous laboratory, this is content worth putting on your schedule.
