9th LAFM Summit 2026

About this event

As pharma and biotech face mounting pressure to operate leaner, support increasingly complex science, and maximize the value of their infrastructure investments, the leaders responsible for lab operations, asset management, facilities, and engineering have never played a more strategic role. Rising demand for efficiency, the emergence of AI-enabled operations, workforce restructuring, and renewed investment in U.S. R&D sites are reshaping how laboratories are designed, managed, and scaled.

Returning to Boston, the 9th Lab Asset & Facility Management Summit is the only forum dedicated to the operational integration layer that enables science to happen. Bringing together 190+ senior leaders from across lab operations, asset lifecycle management, facilities, engineering, and EHS, you’ll gain practical strategies to streamline lab environments, improve asset performance, strengthen cross-functional collaboration, and increase time back to science.

Through interactive discussions, real-world case studies, and peer-to-peer problem solving, you will leave equipped to build smarter, more resilient, and more efficient research environments capable of supporting the next generation of scientific innovation.
