The problem
Reaching NHS Buyers the Usual Way Is Brutal
Your commercial team already knows this. The people who sign off your category are the hardest in healthcare to reach at scale.
Gatekeepers Block the Call
Cold outreach rarely reaches the Lab Director. Calls and emails get screened long before they land.
Procurement Cycles Run 18 to 36 Months
Relationships go cold long before a contract closes, so a single touchpoint is rarely enough.
In-Person Access Is Harder Than Ever
Since the pandemic, getting your team physically in front of an NHS lab has become slow and difficult.
Field Sales and Stands Cost a Fortune
Trade-show stands and field reps are expensive, and the cost per qualified conversation is brutal to justify.
How it works
From Shortlist to a Full Diary in Four Steps
The programme does the introductions for you, so your team walks in with the meetings already booked.
Tell Us Who You Want to Meet
Share the delegate profiles, NHS trusts, and named prospects your team most wants in front of you.
We Match and Pre-Schedule
We match your shortlist against the validated delegate list and lock in the meeting slots across the two days.
You Receive a Confirmed Diary
Before the event begins, you get a confirmed schedule of named 1:1 meetings. No guesswork, no chasing.
You Meet Your Pipeline
Two days of back-to-back conversations with the buyers who choose your category, on neutral ground.
The people in the room
Every Meeting Is With a Validated Buyer
This is the difference between a list of names and a room of buyers. You meet the people who actually sign off your category.
No One Joins the Room Unvetted
Every delegate is validated as a decision-maker or a direct procurement influencer before they register. More than 60 percent are at VP level and above.
The proof
A Small, Senior, Validated Room
The value is concentration: the most senior diagnostics audience, and the most confirmed access of any option on the table.
Delegate Seniority
Pre-Arranged 1:1 Meetings by Package
Seniority reflects the curated FutureDx delegate profile. Meeting allocations are fixed per package and tier.

The return
Do the Maths on Cost Per Meeting
The simplest way to judge the programme is to compare it against what a single qualified meeting already costs your team.
Now weigh that against the cost of booking the same number of meetings with Lab Directors and Consultant Microbiologists through field sales, trade shows, or outbound. For most diagnostics teams, the comparison is stark. We can send a worked example.
Questions
1:1 Meetings, Answered
How does the 1:1 meetings programme actually work?
You shortlist the delegates and trusts you most want to reach. We match that shortlist against the validated delegate list and pre-schedule the meetings. Before the event begins you receive a confirmed diary of named 1:1 meetings, then you spend two days meeting them. There is no badge-chasing and no cold outreach.
How many meetings do we get?
The standalone 1:1 Meetings Package includes up to 20 pre-arranged meetings. Meetings are also built into the sponsorship tiers, with 15 in Headline, 10 in Platinum, and 6 in Gold.
Can we choose who we meet?
Yes. You give us the delegate profiles, trusts, and named prospects you want, and we match against the registered delegates to confirm your meetings before the event.
Are the people we meet actually decision-makers?
Yes. No delegate joins the room without being validated as a decision-maker or a direct procurement influencer. More than 60% are at VP level and above, so your meetings are with people who can move a deal forward.
Do we need a full sponsorship to access the meetings?
No. The 1:1 Meetings Package is a standalone option with up to 20 pre-arranged meetings and two delegate passes, built for business development teams, CROs, and service companies that want structured access without a stand or a speaking slot.
How is this different from networking at a normal conference?
A normal conference relies on chance meetings during coffee breaks. The FutureDx programme pre-schedules named meetings, confirmed before you arrive, so your two days are spent in front of the right people rather than searching for them across a crowded floor.
How do you make sure the meetings are good quality?
Two ways. Every delegate is validated before they register, and every meeting is matched to the shortlist you provide and confirmed in advance. You are not handed a random list, you are matched to the buyers you asked for.
What does it cost?
Pricing is shared on request. The simplest way to judge it is cost per qualified meeting: compare a package that delivers up to 20 confirmed meetings against what your team spends to book the same meetings through field sales or outbound.
Who is the programme best for?
Commercial Directors, Business Development Managers, and Sales VPs at IVD, diagnostics, pharma, CRO, and lab-services companies who sell into NHS labs and want measurable, qualified conversations rather than logos and footfall.
It is the inaugural edition. Is the format proven?
The structured 1:1 meetings format is well established at comparable infectious disease and molecular diagnostics events, where companies already pay to take part. FutureDx applies it to a deliberately small, validated, senior room, with a curated delegate list and every attendee vetted before they register.
When and where is FutureDx Summit 2026 held?
FutureDx Summit 2026 runs across two days on 27 and 28 October 2026 in London, UK, with a drinks reception on Day 1.
