  • College and University Science and Engineering Facilities 2018 FALL

    November 15-16, 2018, San Diego, CA

    New types of spaces, facility features, and design elements are now mandatory for student recruitment, engagement, learning, teamwork, fabrication, discovery, industry partnerships, and for long-term facility viability.

  • College and University Science and Engineering Facilities 2019

    Capital Projects * Modernization * Learning Spaces * Lab Plans * Maker Culture * Entrepreneurship
    April 8-9, 2019, St. Petersburg, FL

    Attend this conference to benchmark your plans for renovation expansion, and/or new construction of higher education science, engineering, and technology facilities.  Here you’ll get details on facility components that support active learning, recruitment, make more efficient use of resources, increase flexibility, integrate science, engineering, and technology disciplines, boost collaboration and interaction, and reduce costs.

  • Research Facilities 2019

    New directions for planning, design, and construction of research labs and support space
    April 11-12, 2019, St. Petersburg, FL

    It’s ALL changing fast – lab designs, research workflows, workspace, core facilities, research support space, equipment demands, and infrastructure requirements. Here you’ll get the new metrics, facility features, and capital project strategies for the major changes that are now occurring in shared research laboratory work environments, including efficient utilization concepts, wet-damp-dry lab types, lab/office configurations, advanced infrastructure systems, core research facilities, and capital and operating costs.

  • University Facilities 2019

    Capital Projects and Space Planning for Student Life, Learning Spaces, Utilization, Flexibility, Collaboration
    May 6-7, 2019, Scottsdale, AZ

    It’s a very different future for higher education facilities. Higher education directives aimed at campus and student life, new learning space, space utilization, revenue generation, enrollment and demographic forecasts, flexibility, collaboration, and shared use of physical and financial resources are transforming decisions and plans for all types of academic space and new capital projects. 

  • Animal Research Facilities 2019

    Renovation * Technology * Equipment * Data Collection * Capacity Expansion * Space Utilization * Efficiency
    September 30-October 1, 2019, Boston

    Tradeline’s 31st annual animal research conference details new space types, facility features, equipment solutions, and LEAN operating models that are being put in place for enhanced room and microenvironmental data collection, specialized animal models, compliance, lower costs, and to improve flexibility, and maximaiz space utilization.  Here you’ll see examples of, and get the decision-making rationales for, the facility renovation, modernization, and upgrade initiatives.

  • University Facilities for the Sciences and Advanced Technologies 2019

    Engineering * Health Sciences * Robotics * Biological /Physical Sciences * A.I./Data Sciences * Maker Spaces * Innovation Hubs
    October 28-29, 2019, Austin, TX

    A transformation is underway in university facility and space planning models for the sciences, engineering, and advanced technologies. The drivers are ubiquitous program convergence, experiential learning platforms, the boom in maker culture and entrepreneurism, and market demand for highly-skilled, work-ready graduates in newly emerging, heavily funded high-tech research and development fields.

  • Space Strategies 2019

    New Models and Metrics * Workplace Engagement * Utilization * Wellness * Occupancy Cost * Management Systems
    November 7-8, 2019, San Diego, CA

    Higher space utilization, lower occupancy cost, reduced footprint, increased human and organizational performance, improved workplace experience, higher recruiting power, and healthier work environments – this is the new space planning and management proposition.
