You Are Invited to Freeslate Forum 2012

Now more than ever scientists and R&D managers have a simple—but enormously challenging—mandate: make discoveries that lead to new products, new processes, and new opportunities and do it faster and better than the competition.

With advances in high throughput research and data management tools, scientists can take intelligent steps toward redefining their approach to R&D, with a goal of accelerating breakthrough innovations. Our Forum allows like-minded R&D leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of high throughput research and bring knowledge about best practices into their organizations.

Freeslate invites R&D directors, managers, and scientists to Forum 2012 to learn best practices in high throughput research. The conference includes:

• Formal, case-study presentations by a diverse set of customers highlighting dramatic gains in innovation and ROI
• Hands-on training sessions with Freeslate staff focused on accelerating productivity
• Laboratory tours that enable attendees to see tools at work and discuss specific implementation with scientists and technicians
• Networking opportunities between sessions and at evening events

New Features for 2012

Customer-driven LEA training session: Along with training from Freeslate scientists, part of our LEA training will be given by Duane Vance, a leading scientist at Dow Corning. Having broad experience with LEA, we believe attendees will benefit from some interesting new approaches Duane is taking towards getting the most out of his workflows.

Ask the Experts: Our "Ask the Experts" session is a unique chance for in depth and specific answers to your R&D challenges. During the Forum you will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a Freeslate scientist or engineer to discuss the most pressing high throughput issues faced in your lab.

The meeting is located at the iconic Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, CA. Shuttle service to Freeslate will be provided.
