Hannover. In May 2017, LABVOLUTION will be making a new beginning - in more ways than one. The specialist trade fair for innovative lab equipment and laboratory workflow optimization has a new thematic focus and is relocating to a new hall at the Hannover Exhibition Center. From 16 to 18 May 2017, LABVOLUTION - which is being co-staged with the BIOTECHNICA life sciences show - will be staged in the high-class Hall 19/20, making the event more attractive than ever.

One key logistical advantage of Hall 19/20 is that it has its own generously sized conference rooms. This will make life easier for participants, who will no longer need to walk over to the Convention Center for the show’s allied conferences. The Hall 19/20 conference area will, for example, host the international "3D Printing in Science" conference, which will be co-staged with LABVOLUTION on 16 and 17 May. It will also be home to the LabUSER Forum, an event that will feature dedicated areas in which exhibitors will be able run informative lecture programs, workshops and training courses on their products and solutions. This will be free of charge to the exhibitors and will enable them to explain their offerings in greater detail to a targeted audience.

Hall 19/20 is very new, having been completed and formally opened only a little more than a year ago. It is called "19/20" because it stands on a site previously occupied by two separate halls. Hall 19/20 is located right next to the high-traffic North 1 entrance to the exhibition grounds, meaning that for visitors, LABVOLUTION is just a short walk from the northern car parks and the "Messe/Nord" tram terminal. The tram ride from Hannover Central Station to the North 1 entrance takes only about 18 minutes.
