-
Make it a roundtable topic for next year's conference
-
Contact one of the local chapter leads and put it on an upcoming agenda - the local chapters in PA/NJ, Boston and Maryland meet three times a year (I can provide you a contact if any of the local chapters are close by)
-
Write an article for ALMA's journal Managing the Modern Laboratory (contact Wayne Collins wayne.collins@...)

Subject: [labmanagers] Re: Improving the practice of lab automation: Laboratory Automation Engineering
I just check the ALMA's event schedule and the conference is going on now. Is next year's
meeting the next best venue or do you have other options? There is a magazine "Lab
Management", would it be worth while publishing something there? Any comments on
what you would like to see covered?
