Event Information

Event Details

Lab Innovations is the UK’s leading event for laboratory technology, analysis, and application. Taking place on 29–30 October 2025 at the NEC Birmingham, it is the annual meeting place for the UK lab community, bringing together professionals across industry and research. As the largest lab event in the UK, it’s the perfect chance to make valuable connections, grow your network, and discover new opportunities - all under one roof.

Lab Innovations features five dedicated conference theatres: the Biotech Forum, the Quality Infrastructure Forum, Live Lab, the Future of Laboratories Stage, and the Robotics & Automation Theatre, powered by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

We also host the prestigious Lab Awards on the first day of the show - an annual celebration of excellence within the lab community. Powered by Lab Innovations and Laboratory News, the awards shine a spotlight on the standout achievements of individuals, laboratories, and suppliers over the past year.
