15.45–16.45 WORkSHOP a
Increasing the Semantic Capabilities of Your ElN to Capture more Complete Data
There is a growing movement within life-science laboratories to attach a more comprehensive level of semantic information to the data captured within
ELNs. This workshop will delve into issues like:
• Defining the term semantics as it applies in the laboratory and explaining the importance of semantically rich data capture
• Identifying which semantic data your ELN can and should collect and store
• Implementing a strategy for collecting semantic annotations at source, using semantic web technology and developing knowledge grids
• Utilising semantics to enhance searachability, collaboration and automated processes such as data mining
Jeremy Frey, Professor of Physical Chemistry, University of Southampton
17.00–20.00 WORkSHOP B
Navigating Regulations and Ensuring the legality of Your IP from the R&D Stage forward
Ensuring the safety of your intellectual property is of paramount importance; you need to keep it confidential, compliant with regulations and legally
protected. The workshop will cover:
• Assessing the current regulations in place in both the US and the EU
• Discussing risk-based ELN validation (is it necessary to validate in early research stages?) and identifying the appropriate time to apply
authentication methods such as time-stamping and digital signatures
• Developing a standard protocol to ensure record integrity and legality in your lab or across your entire company
• Creating a long-term data archive that is secure and legally compliant, yet accessible to laboratory personnel

Sponsorship & Exhibition
maximise Your Involvement: Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities
Pharma IQ’s ElNs & advanced laboratory Solutions is Europe’s long-running and only event dedicated to ELNs and their users. This year’s conference
features two streams catering to individuals at different stages in their ELN implementations: one targeted to organisations in the pre-and early
implementation phases and another dedicated to companies in the mid-implementation to post-rollout stages.
The conference is attended by key decision-makers - end users who champion ELN projects, IT/IS personnel who facilitate implementation, senior officials
who approve the purchase of systems - bringing together buyers and suppliers together in one place.
Focused and high-level, the event will be an excellent platform to initiate new business relationships. With tailored networking, sponsors can achieve the
face-to-face contact that overcrowded trade shows cannot deliver.
Exhibiting and Sponsorship options are extensive and packages can be tailor-made to suit your company’s needs. Packages include complimentary entry
passes, targeted marketing to industry officials and executives and bespoke networking opportunities.
Other features of sponsorship include:
• Prominent exhibition space in the main conference networking area
