Downpour didn’t deter people from attending LATi 2017 Life Sciences Showcase
Well, that’s life! Torrential rain on the day and the very next day we woke up to glorious sunshine and blue skies. Those that braved the weather arrived at reception drenched, but in good humour.
LATi 2017 Life Sciences speakers were outstanding. Dr Alasdair Gaw of Leicester Precision Medicine Institute, Dr Kath Mackay of Innovate UK, Aamir Butt of Tumour Trace and Professor Graham Pockley of the John van Geest Cancer Research Centre at NTU provided valuable insights into the latest developments in personalised medicine, and opportunities for Life Sciences enterprises.
One of the
The
22 life sciences and related enterprises exhibited at this year’s event. The exhibition, which was held in the impressive Pavilion Building at NTU Clifton campus, was buzzing with conversation. Many companies brought equipment and prototypes to the event: Veolia Water Technologies brought their impressive technology used in scientific labs to purify water; and Tumour Trace showed their remarkable new cancer diagnostic equipment.
Attendees say
“XenoGesis had the pleasure of exhibiting at and attending the LATi 2017 Life Sciences Showcase. Each LATi Showcase has taken a different approach and perspective and for 2017 the exhibition venue in the Pavilion building at NTU opened up the potential to meet with NTU students and staff, as well as those attending the conference. As always, the presentations were highly engaging, this year taking on different facets of commercialising personalised healthcare. LATi Showcase events are time well spent in a friendly and productive environment and we look forward to further networking and debating soon!”
Liz Rendall, Xenogesis
“The LATI Life Sciences Show was attractive to Veolia (Elga) Water Technologies as this is a sector in which we are very active and have a lot of product alignment across the full spectrum of water purity and volumes as required. Additionally being held in a University environment made the attraction even greater as this is another market area in which we have a good market base and a lot of business including for our new Chorus Range of bench top water purification equipment. The LATI event gave us opportunities to meet both potential and current customers for our pure water products allowing us to build new relationships and follow new expressions of interest for the future.”
Simon Mortimer, Veolia Water Technologies
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meeting and associated lectures. There was the added bonus of meeting up with an old colleague from my ‘Fisons’ days who I had not seen for more than thirty years!

It may seem unusual for a Cornwall based company to be at an East Midlands networking event but as I am based in Nottingham and graduated from NTU, I took the opportunity to exhibit at the recent LATI event. Although the weather was a bit damp, the venue was great for exhibiting and networking with some old friends as well as some interesting new contacts. The key feature for me was making new connections slightly outside of my usual area which will hopefully lead to some interesting avenues in the future.

“There may not have been hordes of people in the exhibition area but, as the saying goes, it’s “quality not quantity” that counts!
