SmartLabs Exchange 2010 - Day 1
Written by Gloria Metrick on . Published as written. It may not reflect how these systems work today.
Today is my first day at the 2010 SmartLabs Exchange and my first day as the Chair of one of these industry events: http://www.smartlab.co.uk/Event.aspx?id=230824 I’m excited to attend, both to see old faces and meet new people, but also because it will a new experience for me and I’m looking forward to the challenge.
So, as the Chair of the 2010 SmartLabs Exchange, I’m excited to see what kinds of discussions we’ll have together and am hoping some of the readers of this blog I haven’t previously met will be attending, as it’s a chance to get to meet some of you.
Although today is the official start of the event, yesterday was the pre-exchange workshop day, which I did not attend, this year. I attended, last year, because I was a workshop leader. But I just didn’t ask for the extra day off my project to attend it, this year. I had planned to attend both this and the Laboratory Informatics Forum, but with that being just a week-and-a-half away, I just didn't want to take so many days off for conferences in such a short time frame.
While people who attended the workshop day report the workshops were excellent, the big topic is the music video that people were showing each other on their laptops with laboratory informatics people singing and dancing on YouTube. People are REALLY enjoying that video and sharing it. If you want to see it, see my previous post in this blog about the "tough customer": https://outonalims.com/2010/03/11/tough-laboratory-informatics-customers-they-make-you-dance/
This year, I am giving one of the regular timeslot talks and my topic will revolve around integrating all those systems you have – it’s like a puzzle with lots of pieces.
