Ask the Expert Webinar

Laboratory software has evolved dramatically over the past decade, and advances in artificial intelligence are accelerating that transformation. Many capabilities that once seemed too costly, complex, or time-consuming to implement are now within reach, creating new opportunities to improve laboratory operations, decision-making, and efficiency.
This webinar will explore how laboratories can move beyond asking what software can do today and instead consider what could be possible if traditional limitations were removed. Experts will examine how AI is changing the speed and accessibility of software development, enabling laboratories to pursue solutions tailored to their most pressing operational challenges.
Attendees will be encouraged to bring their toughest “can this even be done?” questions and explore what emerging software and AI capabilities could mean for the future of their laboratory. The discussion will focus on identifying practical opportunities, rethinking existing workflows, and determining which innovations could have the greatest operational impact.
As an attendee, you will:
- Reassess outdated assumptions about the cost and complexity of custom lab software, and recognize which past "too expensive" or "too complicated" ideas are now realistic to pursue.
- Pinpoint specific operational bottlenecks (reporting delays, manual data entry, disconnected systems) that are strong candidates for a software-driven fix, and weigh when it makes more sense to build a custom solution versus buy an off-the-shelf tool.
- Learn new applications for how software (AI or otherwise) and how it can accelerate staffing, throughput, and day-to-day decision-making in the lab.
- Leave with one concrete "I-wonder-if-this-would -work?” experiment to bring back to your lab, a specific process or workflow worth testing to see what's really achievable.
