Who it is for
Built for Infection Test Makers
Whatever kind of infectious disease test you make, the buyers who adopt it are in this room.
Molecular Infection Testing
PCR and amplification-based pathogen detection.
Syndromic Panels
One sample, many pathogens, one answer.
Rapid and Point-of-Care
Infection results at or near the patient.
AMR and Resistance Testing
Tests that guide the right antimicrobial.
Sepsis and Bloodstream
Faster pathogen ID when minutes matter.
Sample-to-Answer Platforms
Integrated systems from specimen to result.
The case for the test
From Sample to Answer
Every infection test makes the same promise: a faster, clearer answer that changes what happens to the patient. This is the journey your buyers care about.
Sample
The patient specimen arrives at the lab.
Detect
Find the pathogen, faster than culture.
Identify
Name the organism precisely.
Resistance
Flag what it will and will not respond to.
Report
A result that changes management.
The faster and clearer this runs, the better the outcome. That is the case your test makes, and the NHS buyers who value it are exactly who fills this room.

Questions
Infectious Disease Diagnostics Conference FAQs
Is FutureDx an infectious disease diagnostics conference?
Yes. FutureDx Summit 2026 is the UK’s inaugural conference dedicated to infectious disease and molecular diagnostics. It is built for companies whose product is an infection test, and it puts you in pre-arranged meetings with the senior NHS buyers who adopt them.
How is this different from your infectious disease conference page?
It is the same event, FutureDx Summit 2026. This page is for companies whose product is an infectious disease test specifically, while the broader infectious disease conference page covers the whole field. Either way, you meet the same validated NHS buyers.
When and where is it held?
FutureDx Summit 2026 runs across two days on 27 and 28 October 2026 in London, UK, with a drinks reception on Day 1.
Who will we meet?
150 plus senior diagnostics professionals from across the UK, more than 60% at VP level and above, every one validated as a decision-maker or procurement influencer before they register, including microbiology, virology, infection, and laboratory leaders.
Which kinds of infection tests fit?
All of them: molecular pathogen detection, syndromic panels, rapid and point-of-care infection tests, antimicrobial resistance testing, sepsis and bloodstream infection diagnostics, and sample-to-answer platforms. If it detects, identifies, or guides treatment of infection, the buyers are here.
What sponsorship and exhibitor options are available?
Options range from exhibiting to headline sponsorship, plus a standalone 1:1 Meetings programme. Each package includes a set number of pre-arranged meetings with validated buyers. Request the sponsor and exhibitor pack for the full breakdown and pricing.
How many meetings can we get?
It depends on your package: pre-arranged meetings range from 6 with Gold to 15 with Headline, or up to 20 with the standalone 1:1 Meetings programme. Each is a confirmed conversation with a validated NHS buyer.
It is the inaugural edition. Is it worth sponsoring?
The room is capped and validated, and your spend is tied to confirmed meetings rather than the gamble of footfall, which keeps it low-risk. Sponsoring the first edition also gives you first-mover visibility with the UK infection diagnostics community.
