Don’t miss out, visit the Scientific Laboratory Show and Conference 2020

The Scientific Laboratory Show and Conference 2020 is once again returning to the East Midlands Conference Centre at the University of Nottingham on Wednesday 20th May 2020. This free event, organised by Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) – the UK's largest independent supplier of chemicals, laboratory equipment and consumables – brings together scientists, speakers and exhibitors from across the community, offering an opportunity to meet like-minded people, learn new things and see the very best scientific technology and equipment for the laboratory.

Building on the success of previous shows, this year’s event promises to be even bigger and better, as SLS continues to respond to the changing needs and demands of its customers. A must-attend event for science professionals, the show offers value to everyone, from laboratory technicians to chief executives.

An educational experience

The value of the show extends beyond merely meeting exhibitors, thanks to the accompanying conference schedule. SLS is delighted to be working, once again, with the Science Council. This year’s event will offer a range of masterclasses, some of which count towards CPD,

Keynote speakers are Dr Tara Shine, an expert in the field of climate change and climate justice, and Professor Richard Wiseman, who was described in Scientific American as one of the most interesting and innovative experimental psychologists in the world today.

Tara has dedicated over 20 years of her life to the pursuit of fairness between people and people and the planet. Richard – listed by the Independent on Sunday as one of the top 100 people who make Britain a better place to live – will be giving a talk on The Luck Factor: Why do some people lead happy successful lives whilst others face repeated failure?

In addition to the varied conference schedule, delegates can take advantage of the Science Council’s Professional Development Zone (PDZ), and engage with relevant bodies, including the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Royal Society of Biology, the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Science and Technology, the National Technician Development Centre and the Institute of Biomedical Science.

Something for everyone

This year, the show will bring together over 60 exhibitors from across the scientific laboratory supply chain, with a number choosing to launch new products at the event. The exhibitors represent the breadth of the scientific community, from food safety and pharmaceuticals to healthcare and water analysis. A focus on quality over quantity ensures there is space and time for visitors to discuss products, request site surveys and view demonstrations.
