Short Courses

Expand Your Knowledge Without a Large Expenditure of Time

The LabAutomation2009 Short Course Program provides a rapid introduction to topics, issues and techniques related to the laboratory automation industry. Each course is a full day and is led by distinguished faculty with deep expertise in their respective course topic. Short courses have been a highlight of LabAutomation conferences in the past and are suited for students, faculty, industry and technology providers. Each course is organized separately, though individuals will benefit from attending two days of short courses. ALA members can save 20 percent on a Sunday short course by purchasing a Saturday course.
