London Lab Live 2027

London Lab Live puts the laboratory as a working system at the center of the exhibition: instruments, robotics, data platforms, cleanrooms and the people responsible for connecting them.

Its audience crosses pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, chemicals, industrial testing, food and consumer goods. That mix matters for teams trying to carry automation and digital practices from one type of R&D environment into another.

The London program brings research leadership into the same conversation as procurement and laboratory operations. Confirmed speakers include Croda’s Finn Bauer, Cambridge’s robot-scientist researcher Ross King and UCL sustainability specialist Caitlin Broadbent. Live workflow integration demonstrations, a start-up zone and the co-located MedLab Live give the show a practical center of gravity: how a laboratory is built, equipped and run, with a neighboring discussion about the commercial demands of UK diagnostics.

How it compares

  1. This show: London Lab LiveLondon, 4,000
  2. Future Labs Live USAPhiladelphia, 2,000
  3. Lab InnovationsBirmingham, 4,871

Lab Innovations is the closest UK comparison. Its Birmingham exhibition covers analytical instruments, consumables, laboratory services and digital tools, alongside practical content on quality, sustainability and skills. Co-location with Advanced Engineering and UK Metals makes it particularly relevant when the laboratory sits inside a manufacturing or materials business. It offers a broad sourcing trip with connections to the surrounding industrial supply chain.

London Lab Live is a stronger fit when the project joins several disciplines: linking robotics to informatics, designing an AI-ready workflow, or bringing facilities and sustainability teams into an R&D investment decision. Its announced speakers connect university research, industrial R&D and public innovation bodies, while MedLab Live adds a separate commercial diagnostics conversation. A team should choose the program that matches its laboratory’s next operational change, with London emphasizing the connection between disciplines.

For North American relationships, Future Labs Live USA takes a closely related laboratory integration agenda to Philadelphia. Its speakers and suppliers address automation, data, facilities and research operations across several industries. London provides the UK setting for those conversations; Philadelphia is the more direct route when the commercial objective is to meet American laboratory teams and vendors.

London Lab Live suits teams bringing laboratory automation, data and facilities into one investment decision, especially when UK R&D and diagnostics relationships matter.

Who exhibits

Automata and FORMULATRIX sit alongside AB Scientific, MP Biomedicals, Guardtech Group and Uncountable in the announced exhibitor list. That combination brings robotics and laboratory software into the same marketplace as laboratory supplies and controlled-environment construction. The value of the mix lies in the interfaces between suppliers: whether a new instrument fits a digital workflow, how a cleanroom supports a process, and what an automation project needs beyond the robot itself. The floor spans the physical and digital laboratory.

London Lab Live 2027

London Lab Live 2027 pairs its laboratory integration program with MedLab Live’s focus on UK diagnostics. Early speakers bring together Croda’s industrial R&D, Cambridge’s work on robot scientists, ARIA’s robotics expertise and UCL’s sustainable research practice. The exhibition includes live workflow integration demonstrations and a start-up zone. CPD accreditation adds a professional-development route for visitors attending the seminar program, alongside the show’s equipment, data and laboratory-design discussions.

  • For an automation project, connect the live workflow demonstrations with the robotics and data-management program: the show treats their integration as one laboratory problem.
  • For CPD, register the relevant seminars in the Terrapinn Events App before attending; the certificate process depends on those session registrations.
  • For meetings across the full attendee community, check the Full App Access pass: the FAQ makes that access distinct from ordinary app participation.

Exhibiting

Exhibition and sponsorship packages are assembled a la carte. Eligible start-ups receive a discount on exhibition pricing, while a place in the conference agenda requires content approval and an additional fee. The strongest fit is a supplier able to show how its equipment, software or facilities service connects to a laboratory workflow, across the research sectors represented here.
