Procurement
The Lab Purchasing Playbook: Mastering Procurement Workflows & Spend Control

Treating lab procurement like a simple checkout leads to rogue spending, duplicate orders, and bottlenecked approvals. This session breaks down how to control the chaos: uncovering hidden supply costs, building frictionless approval workflows, and managing fragmented vendors. Learn to fix these invisible supply chain leaks before they drain your runway.

Beyond the Incubator: How to Navigate Lab Buildouts and Moves to Minimize Downtime

Expanding your lab footprint, whether leaving an incubator or outgrowing your space, often triggers research delays, blown budgets, and scientific downtime. This session breaks down how to manage the move: timing transitions, auditing spaces for bottlenecks, and phasing buildouts to protect capital. Expand safely so your new lab unlocks your science instead of capping it.

From Bench to Balance Sheet: 3 Strategies to Align Lab Ops & Finance

When lab tracking and accounting don't connect, you get stuck with missing packing slips and month-end panic. This session breaks down 3 practical strategies to fix the disconnect. Stop reconciling invoices by hand so finance can close the books faster and scientists can stay at the bench.

Why Attend
The best companies don’t scale by accident — they grow by design.

 

This series is about making operational decisions intentionally before chaotic growth forces your hand. Each live date is built around small-group breakout rooms so you leave with answers, not just slides. That’s why seats are limited.

 
Small-group breakouts

Get face time with the experts and peers in capped breakout rooms. Bring the messy specifics of your lab.

 
Practical strategies

Walk away with concrete plans you can put to work the same week, not abstract theory.

 
Future-proof infrastructure

Learn how to set up your operations correctly from day one to avoid the costly mistakes as you grow.

Who it’s for

Built for everyone who keeps a life science lab running, from the bench to the back office. This is about replacing operational friction with intentional processes and connected workflows, no matter your stage of growth.
