Luminex’s xMAP^® multiplexing technology

Whether you’re a power user of Luminex’s xMAP^® multiplexing technology or you’ve just heard about it for the first time, there’s a lot you can gain from attending one of our user group meetings. These xMAP Connect events are designed to be convenient, helpful, and educational. Still not convinced? Here are six reasons we think xMAP Connect meetings are worth your time.

1. They’re Local

Unlike typical biotech user group meetings hosted in the usual East Coast and West Coast hotspots, xMAP Connect is designed to bring great material right to users and prospective users wherever they are in multiple meetings throughout the year. We have upcoming events planned for La Jolla, CA, and Atlanta, GA, plus future meetings likely to be held in Chicago, Boston, and other locations as well.

2. No Commitment

We get it — you just don’t have the time or budget for a marathon, multi-day event. That’s why xMAP Connect takes place on a single day, making it easier for you to take time away from the lab or office to join us. We also share the agenda ahead of time, so if you can only pop in for the morning or afternoon, that’s OK. There’s still plenty to do in a short time!

3. Stellar Content

Speakers at xMAP Connect events are, in a word, fantastic. We are honored at every meeting to have highly respected leaders in their fields take time to join us and present results from their work with xMAP Technology. These talks are guaranteed to inspire new ideas, introduce novel applications, and inform users about different instruments and approaches.

4. Partner Presence

Luminex has commercialized much of its xMAP Technology through our dedicated partners — licensed companies that develop new assays based on our multiplexing tools. Many of these partners display their products at xMAP Connect events, giving attendees a great view of what’s available off the shelf.

5. Networking

xMAP Connect is for everyone, and we mean everyone! These one-day events bring together PIs and grad students, scientists and clinicians, technology developers and assay designers. When you’re not actively attending a presentation, you can take the opportunity to meet new people, exchange best practices, and collect new ideas to take back to the lab about how xMAP Technology can empower your research.

6. They’re free

There’s no cost for conference attendance, and we offer breakfast, lunch, and a cocktail hour as well—all completely free of charge.

We hope to see you at an upcoming xMAP Connect meeting!
