2nd Annual Conference on Electronic Laboratory Notebooks Driving Productivity & Integration Across the Life Sciences to Take Place Feb 27-28, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA

The 2nd Annual Electronic Laboratory Notebooks conference, scheduled to take place on February 27-28, 2006 in Philadelphia, PA, is the premier conference on strategic opportunities for pharmaceutical/biotech companies and other related biotechnology counterparts who have adopted (or plan to adopt) ELN framework and are seeking successful practical solutions in tackling the barriers — such as legal concerns, regulatory fears, cultural change, technological integration and shrinking budgets, according to Strategic Research Institute.

The 2006 conference is a two-day learning forum that will feature ground-breaking information pivotal to your ELN management strategy and will also consist of lectures that will reflect on how the implementation of ELNs are driving R&D productivity & integration across the life sciences industry. This year’s format will feature concurrent A.M. pre-conference workshops, followed by a general plenary, then will split into two unique tracks on A) ELN drug discovery/IP & B) using ELNs in a GXP environment — all on the second day. You will be exposed to a stellar lineup of speakers and panelists to address the most contemporary topics and engage in active discussion with the audience.
