What to Expect

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, LabCentral is hosting a dynamic, action-oriented event. This event aims to spotlight women leaders across life sciences, promote gender equality, and inspire attendees to "Accelerate Action" within their own spheres of influence. Through powerful keynote addresses, interactive activities, and a drive to support women-focused initiatives, this event will provide a platform for reflection, empowerment, and community engagement.

This year, we are excited to collaborate with Rosie’s Place, the first shelter for women founded in the country.

Rosie's Place guests struggle to have the necessities they need to make it through the day. Help support us by collecting items to meet the critical needs of the hundred of women who visit us daily.

Now through the event, click here to access the wishlist to support this incredible cause!
