Speakers
The people your team will actually meet
FutureDx Summit 2026 brings together 23 confirmed speakers from NHS pathology, the UK Health Security Agency, university research groups and the diagnostics industry — across two days in London on 27–28 October 2026.
These are the clinicians, scientists and programme leads who evaluate and adopt diagnostic platforms. Sponsors meet them through the pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings programme rather than chasing them across a crowded exhibition floor.

For Sponsors
Want to meet this room?
Sponsors receive pre-arranged 1:1 meetings with validated delegates, a speaking slot in the main programme, and the full delegate list for follow-up. Because packages are built around a fixed number of confirmed meetings rather than floor space, most teams find the cost per qualified conversation compares well against a stand at a larger exhibition.
