Lab Innovations wins in Best Trade Show awards category

The company won in the under-5,000 sq metre category and was praised by judges for “sensitivity to industry trends”.

In particular, the judging panel noted the introduction of a new biotech and quality infrastructure forum, as well as its programme of knowledge and learning share – cited by 70% of respondents as a major reason for their attendance.

Also cited was the use of the Lab Matters podcast in association with the Royal Society of Chemistry and its weekly Linkedin newsletters detailing educational videos and seminars.

“We’re pleased that the judges recognised our efforts create a dynamic learning environment at the show, with features like the Innovation Gallery, sustainability pitches, Live Lab demonstrations and the Lab Awards [co-hosted with Laboratory Talk’s sister title Laboratory News] supplementing our five conference theatres.,” said Nicole Hawkins, marketing manager for the event.

In 2024 the show attracted 4,786 visitors, representing a 10% year-on-year rise and its highest attendance figure to date, together with 202 exhibitors.

Organisers say that more than 80 per cent of the 2024 show exhibitors have already rebooked to appear this year.
