3^rd Get-Together
Learn and Connect

The Get-Together is designed to foster open, scientific dialogue and innovation, with little commercial influences. Our focus will be on how digital technologies, advanced modeling, data analytics, and automation are revolutionizing upstream bioprocessing. We aim to explore how these tools can enhance process optimization, improve production outcomes, and drive the future of biomanufacturing.

The 3rd Get-Together, Learn, and Connect event will be held at the Biopartner Center in Leiden on February 13, 2025, from 14:00 to 19:00.

Getinge(Applikon), Securecell, and DataHow, three leading innovators in bioreactor systems,  advanced data collection, automation, digitalization, and analytics (including AI, machine learning, and more), are excited to host the 3rd edition of this exclusive seminar. We warmly invite you to join us for this exceptional event.

If you're interested, please complete the registration form and save the date in your calendar. The program is currently being finalized, and we will update you soon via email with the full agenda and details of our guest speaker topics.
