The Microfluidics Consortium is a group of 30 organisations from around the world with the shared mission to 'grow the market for microfluidics enabled products and services'. We support good practises, platforms/standards, recruitment and evangelize about the latest research and new opportunities.

We have expanded worldwide using the RingCentral virtual events platform. Now we are physical again with talks, table top demos, networking over coffee/lunch  and site visits - but we still use RingCentral to allow delegates in the room (with the app on their phones) and online to get to know each other, strike up value-adding conversations pick up recordings of talks they missed and visit virtual booths. The event site remains open into Fe  so that Virtual delegates in other timezones can pick up segments they missed.

Come and join us on April 8 & 9 (with a world class line up of microfluidics research and applications talks as well as our 'microfluidics hotseat'  introducing early stage companies looking for partners. In the evening there is a private dinner for consortium members only.

The 'buzz' of this meeting will be special with members hungry to refresh relationships, present new achievements and exchange gossip.

The formal programme will be followed by  option of site visits the next day. Details to follow. There is a cap on the number of delegates allowed  on these visits - so register early!

Although they will miss the 'buzz' of Lausanne virtual delegates are able to use the Ringcentral app to reach out to each other and physical delegates and also to visit members' virtual booths where they can see demonstrations and speak with industry experts. The talks  will be streamed online and recordings will be available on demand for 72 hours.
