    One Logo in Hundreds, or One of a Few

    At a large generic event your brand competes with the whole hall for attention. At a focused summit, the same budget makes you impossible to miss.

    At a Generic Event

    Hundreds of exhibitors, mostly outside your category

    Your brand is one dot in the crowd.

    At FutureDx

    A curated handful of sponsors, all in diagnostics

    Your brand stands out and gets seen.

    The focus dividend

    What Focus Buys You

    Four advantages a specialist summit gives a diagnostics brand that a broad event simply cannot.

    Relevance

    Every session, delegate, and conversation sits inside your category.

    Share of Voice

    A handful of sponsors, not hundreds, so your brand is seen and remembered.

    Access

    Pre-arranged 1:1 meetings put you in front of buyers, not hoping they pass by.

    Seniority

    More than 60% at VP level and above, all validated before they register.

    The room

    A Smaller Room, Full of the Right People

    Focus is not a limitation here, it is the whole point. The numbers show who you actually meet.

    Every Session Is Your Category

    At a generic event, diagnostics is one track competing for attention. At FutureDx the entire agenda, across 13 themes from sepsis and AMR to molecular and point-of-care testing, is the conversation your buyers came for. That is why a smaller, focused room converts.

    Questions

    Focused vs Generic, Answered

    How is FutureDx different from a big generic healthcare conference?

    A generic conference is broad, mixed, and built for footfall, so diagnostics is one track among many and your brand is one of hundreds of exhibitors. FutureDx is 100% infectious disease and molecular diagnostics, with a senior, validated audience and pre-arranged 1:1 meetings, so you are one of a few sponsors in a room full of your buyers.

    Won’t a bigger event give us more reach?

    More footfall is not more pipeline. At a large event most attendees are not in your category and not decision-makers, so you pay for reach you cannot use. FutureDx concentrates 150 plus validated senior diagnostics buyers, so a smaller room produces more qualified conversations.

    Is a smaller specialist event really worth it?

    For selling into NHS diagnostics, yes. Relevance, share of voice, seniority, and pre-arranged access all move in your favour at a focused summit. You are not drowned out, every session is your category, and you meet buyers directly rather than hoping they pass your stand.

    Who attends FutureDx Summit 2026?

    More than 150 senior diagnostics professionals, with over 60% at VP level and above. Every delegate is validated as a decision-maker or direct procurement influencer before they register, spanning NHS labs, public health, and industry.

    We already sponsor a large industry event. Why add FutureDx?

    They do different jobs. A large event is broad brand awareness. FutureDx is targeted pipeline: a curated room of the exact NHS buyers you want, with confirmed meetings. Many teams shift budget from broad footfall to focused access because the cost per qualified lead is lower. See the cost per lead analysis.

    It is the inaugural edition. Why choose an unproven event?

    The specialist format is well established at comparable diagnostics events, and FutureDx applies it to a deliberately small, validated, senior room. Being first also means owning the association with the UK’s dedicated diagnostics summit from year one.

    What sponsorship options are available?

    Headline, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Exhibitor packages, plus a standalone 1:1 Meetings programme, each with a set number of pre-arranged meetings. View all sponsorship packages to compare them.

    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.
