You must register on-line to win the door prizes!

Agenda:   An exciting day is planned with technology exhibits in the main hall. Oral Presentations will be featured in the seminar areas throughout the day. Over one hundred exhibitor booths of laboratory automation hardware and software will exhibit, demonstrating their latest products and services. Extensive hors d'oeuvre, courtesy of the exhibitors, will be available as well as cash bars. The proceeds from this exhibitor funded meeting are used to pay for various costs of running the group throughout the year. In this way the LRIG can operate without collecting dues. Please support the group by attending this informative and entertaining meeting. Last year Exhibition was extremely successful with over 700 attendees and we hope to surpass that turnout. For more information contact Andy Zaayenga, .

There are rooms at the Hilton and nearby hotels for attendees who wish to stay overnight.  Parking is paid for by the LRIG - the exit gate will be open when you leave.

Donations for the door prize drawings are gratefully accepted. Open career positions at your company may be posted on the job board.

There is no fee to attend the meeting.

The Menu!

A highlight of the annual exhibition is the food and refreshments. From 4:00 to 6:00 PM there are buffets of vegetable crudite and cheese, as well as butler served cold and hot hors d'oeuvre. At 6:00 PM dinner is presented featuring sushi, roast beef carving board, pasta, and Middle Eastern style grilled vegetables. A cash bar is available throughout. Coffee and tea is served at 7:30 PM.

The food is free to attendees and sponsored by all of the exhibitors - thank you!
