Modernising Life Sciences facilities without stopping production is the central challenge of Day 1.

Brownfield environments, regulatory constraints, and legacy systems mean that change is continuous, but rarely straightforward. The focus is on how organisations are delivering upgrades in live production environments, and what is working in practice.

You’ll hear perspectives from engineers, operators, and delivery teams working through these challenges today.

  • Modernising brownfield facilities without disrupting production
  • Delivering upgrades under strict GMP and validation requirements
  • Improving execution from project delivery into operations
  • Learning from real implementation experience and peer practice
  • Exploring how organisations are managing phased modernisation in live environments
  • Sharing what is working — and where delivery still breaks down
