We have been working on many product improvements since last year’s CTEC. This session will give you an overview of these new features and some insight into our future direction.
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM | Break @ Vaquero Foyer
11:00 AM – 11:30 AM | Global Professional Services - Transforming Challenges into Successes
Implementing a LIMS system can be a challenging affair, but LabVantage has solutions. Join our global Professional Services team as they discuss innovative services we can offer to make your LIMS implementation faster, easier, and more dependable when measuring scope, budget, and schedule.
11:30 AM – 12:00 PM | Product Roadmap - LabVantage 8.4 and beyond

1:30 PM – 3:30 PM | ELN & LES
Last year we introduced modules for Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) and LabVantage Execution System (LES), and we’ve kept the improvements coming! Join us for a quick review of existing ELN & LES features and a deeper dive into the enhancements that will make your laboratory run even more smoothly and with better control.
3:30 PM – 4:00 PM | Break @ Vaquero Foyer
4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | Discussion Group - Biobanking
Join the LabVantage Biobanking community in a discussion of current product functionality, enhancement request collection, challenges, and solutions.
4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | Discussion Group - Instruments and connectivity
Today’s labs run a wide variety of instruments and connecting them to a LIMS system can be a challenge. Join us for a discussion to conceptualize the perfect instrument interface solution and how it could make your laboratory more efficient and connected.
4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | Discussion Group - CAPA and Incident Management
What happens when data is suspect? Slightly out-of-specification data may be understandable, but sometimes data or procedural irregularities occur that require some investigation, tracking, and potentially, reporting to other business units or organizations. Join us for a discussion to conceptualize the perfect incident management system.
4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | Discussion Group - Master Data Creation and Loading
Every LIMS implementation is faced with the same challenge: how can we load a bunch of new master data? The next challenge is, once it’s in a testing or validation system, how do we move all of that data between instances so it can be promoted to a production environment or shared with other instances? This discussion group will review these challenges and review a proposed future solution.
5:30 PM – 6:30 PM | LV Experts Cocktail Reception
Have you joined us as a member of the LV Experts group throughout the year? Please join us for a private reception and networking session. The drinks are on us!
