Join ZONTAL at the 2026 Spring Allotrope® Connect Workshop in Leiden from May 5–7, 2026

The 2026 Spring Allotrope® Connect Workshop brings together leading experts across life sciences, lab informatics, and digital transformation to collaborate on solving today’s most pressing challenges in data, analytics, and regulatory science.

This collaborative event is designed for professionals working across laboratory operations, scientific data management, manufacturing, and technology innovation. Attendees will participate in hands-on sessions, technical deep dives, and interactive discussions focused on advancing FAIR data principles and enabling scalable, interoperable scientific ecosystems.

We are pleased to share that Wolfgang Colsman, Founder and CEO of ZONTAL, will be speaking at this year’s workshop, contributing to key discussions around data standardization, interoperability, and AI-ready scientific infrastructure.

ZONTAL will contribute to two featured presentations focused on advancing data-driven R&D:

• From Instruments to Intelligence in collaboration with Merck 
• ICAD: The Operational Complement to FAIR

These sessions will explore how organizations can move beyond fragmented instrument data toward scalable, governed, and intelligence-ready data ecosystems—enabling automation, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.

The Allotrope Connect Workshop continues its tradition of community-driven innovation, bringing together industry and not-for-profit leaders to define practical approaches to standardization, data integrity, and digital transformation across the scientific lifecycle.

If you are working at the intersection of science, data, and technology, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with peers, contribute to emerging standards, and help shape the future of scientific data.
