Welcome Statement & Event Kick-Off

Vasu Rangadass, Ph.D., President & CEO, L7 Informatics

Texas Ballroom 1

Keynote | State of the Industry: Navigating Complexity, Scale, and the Rise of AI in Life Sciences

AI promises transformation, but today’s fragmented systems, siloed data, and brittle workflows are limiting real progress. In this candid keynote, Vasu Rangadass lays out the realities of the industry’s digital maturity and identifies the structural shifts needed to meaningfully unlock AI. The session will offer an unvarnished look at what’s working, what’s slowing organizations down, and how a unified, orchestral digital backbone will separate tomorrow’s leaders from those left behind.

AI in Real Life: How Leading Organizations are Turning Data into Decisions

As AI capabilities rapidly expand, life sciences organizations must rethink how data, workflows, and teams operate together. Moderated by Will Gray and Kevin McMahon, this panel brings together L7 customers who are using AI to enhance visibility, strengthen decision-making, and accelerate scientific and operational outcomes. The discussion will offer concrete perspectives on building AI-ready foundations, choosing the right problems to solve, and applying intelligence that drives meaningful impact across research, diagnostics, and manufacturing.

Panel Discussion | Closing the Diagnostic Gap: Building Connected, Scalable Labs for the Next Era of Testing

Diagnostics teams are under pressure to increase throughput, tighten turnaround times, manage rising sample volumes, and prepare their data for AI. Ben Skidmore, Ph.D., brings together leaders from top diagnostics organizations for a candid conversation about what is breaking, what must change, and what scalable solutions look like in real life. The panel will explore how labs can streamline complexity, strengthen quality, and build the digital backbone required to grow without sacrificing accuracy or trust.

Panel Discussion | Building Connected Research Environments that Accelerate Science and Unlock Discovery

Too often, scientists have to deal with reconciling data, harmonizing inconsistent formats, and navigating tools that weren’t built for modern research. Moderated by Will Gray, this discussion will address how to reduce friction, improve data integrity, and give scientists environments where innovation can move faster. The panel will explore pragmatic ways to connect workflows, standardize context, and build the digital foundation that enables reproducible, AI-ready discovery.
