AI is changing the world, and it is changing the lab. From intelligent workflows to data-driven decision making, artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how laboratories operate, and the professionals who understand it will lead the way. The 2026 LabOps Unite Annual Conference is a full day dedicated to helping you upskill, stay ahead, and put AI to work in your lab.
Through hands-on workshops, expert roundtables, and an AI-focused keynote, you will move past the hype and into practical application. Whether you lead a lab operations team or are building your career in the field, you will leave with real techniques you can use immediately, new connections across the community, and a clear picture of where intelligent lab operations are headed.
This event is for members only.

Intelligent Labs. Empowered People. AI is transforming every industry, and laboratory operations is no exception. The labs that thrive in the next decade will be the ones whose people understand how to harness intelligent technology, and this conference is built to get you there. Every session is designed to help LabOps professionals upskill, stay ahead of the curve, and turn AI from a buzzword into a working advantage, because technology amplifies great teams rather than replacing them.
Agenda is subject to change. Additional speakers will be announced.
Check in, pick up your badge, and start the day connecting with fellow LabOps Unite community members over breakfast.
Amanda Allen, Board President, LabOps Unite
Where AI is taking the laboratory: the technologies, roles, and possibilities ahead.
Sukhveer Singh, Chief AI Officer, Agilent
What needs to be in place before AI can deliver: security, data governance, and infrastructure readiness.
Speaker to be announced
Stretch your legs and connect with peers.
The labs getting real results from AI understood their processes first: map the workflow, spot what is truly AI-ready, and know which problems no algorithm will fix.
John Diley
How roles will shift, what becomes possible when routine work runs itself, and where the human must stay in the loop.
Sukhveer Singh, Agilent, with additional panelists to be announced
Connect with peers across the LabOps community.
Hands-on parallel breakout sessions. Choose the track that matches your experience level.
Learn the terminology, then plan and build your first agent. No technical background required.
Brainstorm a real need, write a PRD, and build an agent your organization can use.
When one agent is not enough: coordinate multiple agents on complex work.
Stretch your legs and connect with peers.
Four expert topic tables. Rotate every 20 minutes and bring your real lab challenges for real-time feedback.
