Finally, advice can also be shared on lab processes that can be implemented to improve sustainability, such as pipette tip box recycling programmes, PPE recycling schemes, thoughtful purchasing programmes that have environmental and budgetary benefi ts, and general supply chain effi ciency improvements.
The event caters to professionals from diverse areas, including research scientists and academics, laboratory technicians and managers, medical and pharmaceutical professionals, and environmental scientists and engineers. For instance, attendees from medtech and pharmaceutical industries can learn new ways to maximise experimental effi ciencies and laboratory throughputs, both of which are key themes across those industries.
“The SLS show and conference 2024 is a chance for the industry’s leading brands and professionals to gather in one place and discover the latest advancements in lab equipment and consumables and hear from leading experts,” continued Zaborowski “The show represents a chance to learn about everything from lab sustainability and process automation to experimental procedure development and proof of concept testing.”
The last Scientifi c Laboratory Show and Conference, held in 2022, was met with an overwhelmingly positive reaction from attendees on the day.
Kirst Rolus, from Solus Scientifi c, said following 2022’s show: “It was very well organised, the staff and suppliers were lovely and helpful, and the entertainment and services provided were fantastic.”
Dan Graham, from Liverpool John Moores University, commented: “The feedback across the board from postgraduate researchers to the Faculty of Science Research Manager, Dr Alan Simm, was extremely positive. They are all saying that they had not only a very useful experience, but an absolutely wonderful day.”
Dr Simm expanded on this, explaining: “The show was one of the most valuable days I have had for quite a while. The quality of organisation was superb. It is clear an immense amount of thought and planning had gone into the preparation. Everyone I encountered was super helpful.”
A conference not to be missed
In addition to all the excitement on the show fl oor, the conference will host an impressive selection of speakers including three well-known keynote speakers; Dr Helen Czerski, Dr Adam Rutherford and Robin Ince.
Dr Czerski, a renowned oceanographer and science communicator, will delve into the captivating world of ocean science, sharing details from the latest research in the fi eld. Dr Czerski is widely known for her work presenting many BBC science documentaries on various subjects, from everyday physics to atmospheric and ocean science. She is also a regular presenter for the Fully Charged Show, a very familiar face on the Cosmic Shambles Network and hosts the Ocean Matters podcast for the Bertarelli Foundation.
Dr Rutherford, a well-known genetics researcher and author, will offer an insight into the latest genetics research and can share his thoughts on the ethical considerations surrounding advancements in the fi eld. Dr Rutherford is generally regarded as one of BBC Radio 4’s most prominent broadcasters, with his six-part series Bad Blood: The Story of Eugenics, recently winning the Audio Kavli AAAS Science Journalism Gold Award.
Registration to the show is free, and booking is now available on the show’s website.
He also presents Radio 4’s Start the Week and was the host of the BBC’s fl agship science programme Inside Science for eight years. His popular series The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry has been on air for a decade. Dr Rutherford is also a regular guest on Lauren Laverne’s BBC 6 music show and The Infi nite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox and Robin Ince.
Ince, a comedian, writer and science enthusiast, will provide attendees with a unique blend of humour and scientifi c knowledge, sparking interesting discussions on various key topics. He is best known as the co-host of the Sony Gold Award-winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infi nite Monkey Cage. He also co-hosts the podcast Book Shambles with Josie Long as well as An Uncanny Hour and Science Shambles.
“The show’s conference programme is a great opportunity to hear from leading fi gures from across the UK’s scientifi c industries,” added Zaborowski. “Helen, Adam and Robin are all well-known for their passion, experience and unique insights, so securing all three as keynote speakers for this year’s show will help ensure that 2024’s show is the best one yet.
“Together, Helen Adam and Robin offer a blend of deep scientifi c knowledge, engaging communication skills and the ability to connect with a broad audience. Their diverse backgrounds will provide a rich tapestry of insights, making them excellent keynote speakers for inspiring innovation, fostering collaboration and highlighting the importance of science and technology in solving contemporary challenges at this year’s show.”
Beyond the three keynote speakers, the conference programme also includes representatives from the National Technician Development Centre (NTDC), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), the Institute of Science and Technology (IST), the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), Eppendorf, Corning and Ohaus.
A day of fun
The Scientifi c Laboratory Show and Conference is not all serious science. It also packs a punch with fun activities. For example, attendees are automatically entered into a prize draw for a chance to win £250 in Amazon vouchers and can also win more prizes at the SLS Arcade Olympics, which includes popular games like whack-a-mole, batak pro, arcade basketball, and roll and bowl.
Furthermore, attendees can try their hand at virtual reality games, including skiing, racing and parachuting, and enjoy freshly-made liquid nitrogen ice cream.
The Scientifi c Laboratory Show and Conference is an opportunity to network with peers, gain insights from expert speakers and discover the latest cutting-edge lab products and techniques. 2024’s event promises to be an unmissable experience for anyone passionate about scientifi c innovation. In short, it will be a day inspired by scientists, for scientists.
The conference will host an impressive selection of speakers.
Lunch and refreshments are available to all attendees, free of charge. To join us at the Scientifi c Laboratory Show and Conference 2024, register for free. More information online:
