Join us on April 29 at 11:00 AM CDT for an SLAS Technology Idea Exchange, Automating Cold Storage with Confidence: AI-Driven Technologies, Innovative Automation, and the Path to Adoption.

This session will be led by Kathi Shea of Azenta Life Sciences and Dr. Susan Crimmin, former Vice President of Sample Management at GlaxoSmithKline. They’ll revisit how AI-powered automation is transforming sample management and cold storage, helping replace inefficient freezer farms with more scalable, traceable solutions.

You’ll also hear about what it takes to successfully implement these technologies, including process redesign, workforce adoption, and governance, along with practical insights on supporting change and maximizing the long-term value of AI-enabled automation.
