The SLAS International Conference and Exhibition is synonymous with collaboration, innovation and keeping you at the forefront of lab automation!
This year, we’ve made it easier to find the new product launches and connect with new companies more impactfully with the inclusion of the partneringONE platform. PartneringONE automates your ability to make connections, schedule 1:1 meetings, form licensing or business relationships, and elevate your conference experience.
PartneringONE’s gold standard platform is used at more than 30 annual partnering and investment events and is designed to bridge the gap between ambitious entrepreneurs/startups in the life science and lab automation industries and seasoned investors and venture capitalists. Through curated meetings, networking opportunities, and strategic connections, SLAS2026 aims to foster collaborations that drive innovation, growth and investment in the field. (If you’ve used partneringONE at a BIO-Europe, Biotech Showcase or BioSeed event in the past, your login and profile will carry over for use at SLAS too!)
At SLAS2026, access to the partneringONE platform will be available for purchase by all attendees with access packages suited to a variety of business goals, ideal for making your conference time efficient and impactful, transforming ideas and innovations into even more successful business ventures.
