What is the Paperless Lab Academy about? At the PLA we set the stage for discussions on strategies and implementation of 21th-century technologies in the laboratory. It is about discussing key milestones to generate solid business insights from the laboratory, connecting with colleagues who share similar operational issues as you have, learning about user's case studies and how they are deployed into their processes, discovering the informatics trends from cutting-edge thought leaders, being in the know about the last informatics tools and methodologies in a creative and productive atmosphere.
WHEN IS THE NEXT PLA EDITION TAKING PLACE?
Due the Pandemic situation, we had to cancel the PLA2020 8th European Edition. In alignment with our sponsors, and thanks to the support of the Gran Hotel Dino, Zacchera Hotels, we are now inviting you to the PLA2021 Europe Online,April 27 & 2o, 2021.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE #PLA

Scientific Computing World Review
The Paperless Lab Academy continues to be possibly the most interesting and thought-provoking event dealing with laboratory informatics. By providing a synoptic overview of the informatics landscape and identifying trends and developments for the future.

Astellas
Coming from outside the Laboratory area I found the Paperless Lab Academy conference to be very informative and by listening to the various speakers both Industry and Vendors. I gained a good insight into where Laboratory systems are going system-wise and gained an understanding of the challenges they face in the current environment.
Gerhard Noelken
Pistoia Alliance
The Paperless Lab Academy creates a highly creative atmosphere for system providers and end-users to brainstorm together. I have hardly ever seen this at any other places. Discussing your solution or integration idea with colleagues and friends is what makes this event so valuable.

The PLA2018 reinstated that Automation and Digitalization of Laboratory processes & workflows are at the forefront of innovation in the laboratory realm.
The conference, expertly organized in a pleasing venue, provided a great blend of plenary sessions and interactive workshops, along with good networking opportunities to interact with industry peers and solution providers. We hold the overall level of the presentations to the highest standard, having enjoyed the contributions from thought leaders, fellow peers from the pharmaceutical industry and other areas of expertise.
Our sincerest compliments on the quality of the event – it´s ranked as the best lab informatics conference we attended

This is a fascinating conference with a strong focus on Research Data Management and different strategies to not only go paperless in the lab, but also how to best organise one’s data. There were a range of talks and workshops/demos including some on FAIR data and the use of semantic web technologies both in conjunction with AI and for interoperability purposes.

One of the nicest conferences to attend on the entire circuit. Great location, great atmosphere, great program. Looking forward to next year.

The Paperless Lab Academy has been a very interesting experience for me. I´ve learned on other markets´ initiatives which could potentially be of interest for my company´s journey. It has given me the opportunity to discuss further with the speakers to expand on my understanding. I am already looking for projects internally based on the learnings from the PLA. I can honestly say that I got a lot out of it.

The Paperless Lab Academy 2019 has been even more focused on data than before. Understanding FAIR data, leveraging ontologies, create and share knowledge are now part of most discussions and presentations. We are truly in the data era.

Had a great time at the Paperless Lab Academy. I really like the close interaction between attendees and the vendors. The forum provides a chance to really interact on a personal level – I like that. Enjoyed my time, and hope to come again.
Lawrence Barratt
Unilever
The Paperless Lab Academy is an essential networking event for all involved in the automation of laboratories. I found it a great way to connect with others facing the same decisions and operational issues as me – and of course, learning how other industries dealt with them. Having easy access to the major vendors also helped enormously in laying out our Digital roadmap. I would thoroughly recommend this event.
Patrick Pijanowski
Accenture
The Paperless Lab Academy has consistently proven to be rich in content and an excellent forum in which to exchange ideas with industry thought leaders
