When and where is SLAS2027?

SLAS2027 International Conference & Exhibition runs January 30 – February 3, 2027, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA.

What are the SLAS2027 exhibit hall hours?

The exhibit hall is open Mon, Feb 1, 9:30am–6:00pm; Tue, Feb 2, 9:00am–5:00pm; Wed, Feb 3, 9:00am–1:00pm.

Where is the SLAS2027 floor plan?

See the organizer’s interactive exhibit hall floor plan. This guide gives each exhibitor’s booth number.

Where is the SLAS2027 program?

This guide lists every organization on the SLAS2027 program with its sessions; the full program is on the official website.

How do I register for SLAS2027?

Fees and registration are on the organizer's registration page.

Where does this list come from?

Three public SLAS sources, none of which needs a login: the exhibit floor plan and the profile each exhibitor published on it (website, location, product categories, description); the SLAS2027 event scheduler — the sessions, the job titles and employers of the speakers on each, and the sponsor level of each exhibitor; and the schedule-at-a-glance for the exhibition hours.

How current is it?

Pulled 17 October 2026. The program is still filling in: of the 409 people on the speaker list, 181 were on a published session and 228 had none yet. Of the 375 exhibitors, 178 had published a company description and 323 a list of product categories; 23 hold a sponsor level.

What is on the program?

Short courses on January 30 and 31, before the exhibition opens; podium sessions in the scientific tracks from February 1 to 3, with the talks inside them as SLAS names them; Topical Interest Group sessions; and the exhibitors’ own tutorials and Solutions Spotlight presentations on the show floor. Each row gives the day, time and room, and the job titles of the speakers from that organization.

What is a product area?

The part of a laboratory’s workflow an organization works in — liquid handling, automation and robotics, screening, detection, software and so on. For an exhibitor it is judged from its own product categories and profile, at most three per company; for a session it is the scientific track the session sits in.

Why are there no names?

This guide is about which organizations are in the room, not which people. It never publishes a person’s name: a speaker appears as a job title.
