IDBS brings BioPharma leaders together at flagship i3 2026 forum in Boston

WOKING, United Kingdom, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IDBS, a Danaher company and leading provider of cloud software for BioPharma organizations, today announced i³ 2026, its flagship customer and partner forum, taking place on May 18, 2026, in Boston, one day ahead of the Bio-IT World Conference.

As BioPharma organizations accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), automation and advanced analytics, many still face challenges around fragmented experiment, product and process data, aging legacy systems and rising regulatory expectations. At the same time, R&D, IT and digital leaders are under growing pressure to modernize how scientific data is captured, structured and governed, without disrupting compliance or slowing down science.

"Our customers are tackling these challenges head on—rethinking how they capture, connect and contextualize their scientific data and integrating platforms like IDBS into their digital ecosystems to create more trusted, scalable foundations for decision-making, AI initiatives and faster scientific outcomes," said Pietro Forgione, General Manager at IDBS. "i3 2026 is a forum where they can share what's working, what they've learned and where the industry is heading—across both GxP and non‑GxP environments."

Following the success of i³ 2025 in Woking, the 2026 event moves to Boston, where attendees will gather at AWS BOS17 in the Seaport district. The one-day forum will feature customer-led presentations from organizations that have embedded IDBS solutions into their workflows, alongside strategic perspectives from IDBS leadership and technical deep dives on platform capabilities. Attendees will leave with practical approaches they can apply to their own data, compliance and digital transformation challenges.

Key themes include: 

• Customer spotlights: Real‑world experiences from BioPharma organizations that have integrated IDBS solutions into their scientific and operational workflows 
• Strategic insights: IDBS platform vision and market direction for enabling connected, data-driven labs 
• Technical deep dives: Practical sessions on cloud‑native architectures, structured data capture and automation 
• GxP in practice: Approaches to maintaining compliance while enabling faster, more confident decision making

The forum reflects Danaher's commitment to connecting data, workflows and teams across the scientific lifecycle—helping customers move innovations from discovery to delivery with greater speed and confidence.
