Lab Directors are the hardest buyers in diagnostics to reach. FutureDx puts your team across the table from them, in pre-scheduled meetings confirmed before you arrive.
- Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with validated Lab Directors
- Confirmed before the event, so you skip the gatekeepers
- The wider buying committee in the same room
- Speaking and exhibition options to present your platform
P.S. Every Lab Director is validated before they register, and pricing is shared on request.

The challenge
Why Lab Directors Are So Hard to Reach
Your commercial team already knows this. The Lab Director is the buyer who matters most, and the one your pipeline keeps missing.
Reaching Them Cold
- Gatekeepers screen calls, so cold outreach rarely reaches the Lab Director
- NHS procurement runs 18 to 36 months, and relationships go cold
- In-person lab access has become harder since the pandemic
- They are time-poor and rarely attend generic trade shows
- You compete with other vendors for the same constrained budget
Reaching Them at FutureDx
- Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, confirmed before you arrive
- Every Lab Director is validated before they register
- Neutral ground, structured for commercial conversation
- Two days of repeated face time builds real trust
- A curated room where your brand is not lost in the crowd
By the numbers
Senior Access, Confirmed in Advance
The room is small and senior, and your meetings are fixed and confirmed before the doors open.
Delegate Seniority
Pre-Arranged 1:1 Meetings by Tier
Seniority reflects the curated FutureDx delegate profile. Meeting allocations are fixed per package and tier.
The delegate profile
Who You Will Be Meeting
The NHS Lab Director
The person who sets laboratory strategy and signs off the platforms your category depends on. They attend FutureDx for peer exchange and to evaluate what comes next.
- Decides which diagnostic platforms the laboratory adopts
- Signs off capital, reagent, and service budgets
- Owns the procurement framework your product must be on
- Comes to FutureDx to assess new platforms with their peers
Lab Directors do not decide alone. The wider buying committee is in the same room.

Questions
Reaching Lab Directors, Answered
How does FutureDx help us reach Lab Directors?
Through pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with Lab Directors who have registered, confirmed before the event begins. You shortlist the prospects you want and we match against the validated delegate list, so your team meets decision-makers rather than chasing them across a crowded floor.
Are the Lab Directors actually decision-makers?
Yes. Every delegate is validated as a decision-maker or a direct procurement influencer before they register. Lab Directors set lab strategy, sign off platform investment, and own the procurement frameworks your product needs to be on.
How many Lab Director meetings can we get?
Meetings are allocated by package: 15 with Headline, 10 with Platinum, 6 with Gold, and up to 20 with the standalone 1:1 Meetings package. You shortlist the prospects you most want to reach, and we confirm the schedule before the event.
Who else is in the buying committee?
Alongside Lab Directors you will meet Consultant Microbiologists, POCT Coordinators, NHS procurement and diagnostics leads, and clinical scientists, the people who influence and approve diagnostic purchasing decisions.
Why are Lab Directors so hard to reach otherwise?
Gatekeepers screen cold outreach, NHS procurement cycles run 18 to 36 months, and in-person lab access has become harder since the pandemic. FutureDx brings Lab Directors to neutral ground, in a room structured for commercial conversation.
Can we present to them as well as meet them?
Yes. With Headline, Platinum, or Gold you also receive a speaking slot in the main programme, plus exhibition space to demonstrate your platform to delegates across both days.
Is this suited to our company?
If you sell diagnostic platforms, molecular or point-of-care products, reagents, or lab services into the NHS, yes. Lab Directors are your primary buyer, and this is the most efficient way to reach them at scale.
What does it cost?
Pricing is shared on request. Send your details and the team replies with the package, pricing, and current availability.
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.
