User presentation, hands-on AI session, live integrations, dinner
Real-world practice instead of sales pitches: A customer shares her journey from Excel to LIMS, our team demonstrates AI in everyday accredited lab operations, and together with Splashlake, you will see balances and liquid handlers connected live to a cloud LIMS.
A year ago, Lea Ostermeier from Quality Assurance at Primavera Life was right where many LIMS-Forum attendees find themselves today: Excel spreadsheets, legacy processes, and the question of which LIMS is the right fit. She shares how Primavera compiled requirements, evaluated vendors, and ultimately implemented Labordatenbank. An honest look behind the scenes, including pitfalls and hurdles.
Lea Ostermeier, Quality Assurance, Primavera Life GmbH
We demonstrate step by step how accredited laboratories in environmental, food, QA, materials testing, and veterinary medicine are using AI to automate processes today—fully GDPR-compliant and aligned with accreditation standards. Regardless of which LIMS you use.

Together with Splashlake, we demonstrate how lab instruments connect to a cloud LIMS without custom development. You perform a weighing, and the measurement transfers directly to the test order. A Hamilton liquid handler retrieves its worklist from Labordatenbank and feeds results back.
Foyer and LIMS exhibition, Wednesday 11:15 a.m.–7:00 p.m. and Thursday 8:45 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
After the first day, we invite all attendees, exhibitors, and speakers to join us for dinner. It is the most relaxed opportunity at the forum to chat with users who have already implemented a LIMS and discuss open questions with our team.

The full program and all speakers are available at lims-forum.de/programm. Subject to change by the organizer.
For ten editions, LIMS-Forum has been a fixed date on our calendar. This is where we connect with labs that later become customers, and meet clients who first discovered us here years ago. From our first booth selfie in 2017 to a packed stand in 2025: here are a few snapshots from across a decade.
Primavera, IFU, a water testing lab, and others share what worked during their LIMS rollout—and what didn't.
Virtually all key LIMS vendors exhibit here. Two days replace weeks of individual demos.
In the foyer and exhibition: balances, liquid handlers, and mobile data entry directly connected to LIMS.
Our practical session and the “AI in the Lab” track demonstrate what accredited labs are already implementing today.
Requirement specifications, data migration, timelines, budget: our team takes the time to discuss your lab's needs one-on-one.
At the first evening's get-together, enjoy relaxed conversations with users and our team.
Schedule your personal time slot. 30 minutes, your questions, no generic slide deck.
In this video, Konrad Wagner explains who benefits most from LIMS-Forum and what labs can take away from the two days in Mannheim.
The presentation by Primavera Life highlights this exact journey, from requirements scoping to rollout.
Compare over 30 vendors across two days and talk to labs that have already completed the migration.
AI, lab automation, IT security, and instrument connectivity are the key focus areas for 2026.
