What CphLAN is

A candid forum for laboratory automation.

We meet to compare notes on automation workflows, screening systems and the lessons learned along the way — the honest version, without a sales pitch. Just the people who actually build and run the systems.

No vendors, ever

Meetings run without suppliers present, so the conversation stays frank and useful.

Twice a year

Two physical meetings — spring and autumn — hosted around the Copenhagen area.

Industry meets academia

Super-users and managers from both worlds, exchanging methods at one table.

Meetings

Two gatherings a year.
