2008 marks the 12th year anniversary for the LabWare customer education conferences (formerly the LabWare user meeting), which are enthusiastically attended each year by more than 700 people
LabWare will hold five week-long customer education conferences (formerly referred to as the LabWare User Meeting) throughout 2008 to enable customers to participate in continuing education and training on the LabWare product as well as to network with their colleagues in order to share ideas and best practices about the use of LabWare Lims.
The conferences contain a blend of training sessions and short courses, customer presentations on novel uses of the LabWare software, as well as knowledge transfer sessions provided by LabWare on new product enhancements, with a keen emphasis on customer input to this process.
This year LabWare will host the conferences in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM USA; Dusseldorf, Germany; Wollongong Australia; Muharraq Town, Bahrain; and South Africa.
The LabWare CEC meeting is open to all existing customers of LabWare and its business partners around the world.
Among the meeting's most popular segments are the Birds of a Feather sessions or BOFs.
These 1.5-hour sessions provide customers having common interests with an opportunity to gather together with their industry peers in order to discuss the topics that are most timely and relevant to them.
Last year there were 22 different BOF sessions that customers had the option to attend.
It's not all just about work though; LabWare plans on hosting a series of fun and exciting evening activities for the attendees ranging from a private concert by the Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards at the North American CEC, to a gala dinner, and a tour of a key attraction that is native to each region in which the meetings are held.
Attendees are invited to bring their spouse and/or family members at no additional charge and these guests are invited to participate in all non-business activities and sponsored dinner events.
