Deadline Extended for 2025 Lab Design Conference Call for Speakers

Due to overwhelming demand, the Lab Design Conference has extended the deadline for the call for speakers for our in-person event in Denver, Colorado, in May 2025. The deadline to submit your abstract is now August 16, 2024. Submit your proposal here: https://www.labdesignconference.com/page/3898969/speakers

This is your chance to join the faculty of this industry-leading event and share your work with the hundreds of lab professionals in attendance.

The Lab Design Conference audience welcomes all those involved with the lab facility's design, construction, and renovation. If you are a lab planner, architect, engineer, construction professional, equipment and furniture manufacturer or supplier, a real estate professional specializing in life science facilities, or a lab manager looking to build a new lab or renovate your current lab, then this event is for you!

The conference will take place from May 11-14, 2025. The educational talks and panel discussions will be held on May 12-13, and the rest of the conference will include networking events, optional workshops, round table discussions, and exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of local lab facilities.

We are seeking proposals that range from introductory-level content to high-level content. Presentations must be strictly non-commercial. We especially encourage proposals that incorporate:

  • Health, safety, and welfare (HSW) content

  • The unique challenges of designing a lab for pharma, life sciences, forensics, government, vivarium, manufacturing, etc.

  • The future of artificial intelligence (AI) in lab design

  • Presentations that feature lab end users (lab managers, bench scientists, etc.) as principal or co-speakers, to discuss how lab design influences their research and how they provide input for the project

  • Insight from structural engineers

  • “Lessons learned” throughout the lifespan of a lab project

  • Sustainable lab design—carbon reduction strategies and carbon neutrality, stewardship of resources, using sustainability to foster collaboration, equipment that can assist with LEED certification, etc.

  • Collaboration strategies between MEP, architecture, and lab planning teams

  • Designing for innovation

  • Panel discussions include different project team members (architects, engineers, lab end users, etc.) who will tell the complete story of their lab project

Ready to share your experience and expertise? Submit your proposal here. Proposals must be submitted by August 16, 2024.
