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.

How roles will shift, what becomes possible when routine work runs itself, and where the human must stay in the loop.
