Where the people shaping the future of laboratories come together
2027 Lab Design Conference
Learn from the teams behind remarkable laboratory projects, understand the decisions that shaped them, and exchange ideas with the people designing, building, operating, and improving laboratories every day.
REAL PROJECTS. REAL LESSONS.
Don’t just see the finished lab. Understand how it got there.
Great laboratory projects are full of decisions you can’t see in the finished photographs.
At the Lab Design Conference, project teams and laboratory end users share the challenges they faced, the choices they made, what worked, what changed, and what they learned once the space was put to use.
Then take that learning further—through conversations, workshops, the exhibit hall, and visits inside working laboratory environments.
Leave with ideas, perspectives, and lessons you can apply to your own work.
About the conference
Four days. More ways to learn.
The Lab Design Conference brings together the people who work in laboratories every day with the professionals who plan, design, engineer, build, and support their environments.
Across four days of sessions, workshops, lab tours, exhibits, and conversations, you’ll explore real projects, hear different perspectives, and discover ideas you can bring back to your own laboratory, facility, or next project.
LEARN
Real projects, real lessons
Hear directly from the people behind laboratory projects and understand the decisions, challenges, and lessons that shaped them.

NEW FOR 2027: THE INNOVATION TRAIL
A smarter way to explore the exhibit hall
Start with what you’re trying to solve.
The new Innovation Trail organizes exhibiting companies around the challenges they help address, making it easier to find the products, services, and expertise relevant to your laboratory, facility, or project.
Follow the Trail. Find what matters to you. Start the conversations that could move your work forward.
EXPERIENCE WORTH SHARING
Learn from the people behind the projects
The Lab Design Conference brings together people with firsthand experience planning, designing, engineering, building, operating, and working within laboratory environments.
Meet architects, engineers, lab planners, facility professionals, scientists, researchers, lab managers, project leaders, and other experts willing to share not only what they accomplished—but what they learned along the way.
MORE PEOPLE. MORE PERSPECTIVES.
Bring more of the conference home
One person can’t be in every session—and laboratory projects rarely depend on just one perspective.
Bring colleagues from across your organization, divide the program, explore different sessions and solutions, compare perspectives, and return with more ideas than any one attendee could capture alone.
