NERLSCD 2026

NERLSCD reports approximately 200–250 academic attendees.

NERLSCD 2026 was held at Courtyard by Marriott Worcester, 72 Grove St, Worcester, MA 01605.

Core facility directors, managers, staff, and administrators from academic institutions spanning North Carolina to Quebec attend NERLSCD.

Its cost was modest, with academic ABRF member registration at $180 early, so it was easy to justify for small facilities; industry sales staff would have paid $400 to $500 and met a small, academic-only audience, and researchers outside core operations would have gotten less from it.

Core facility and academic biotech meetings usually call for casual to business casual dress, such as slacks or jeans with a collared shirt or sweater. Worcester is cool in mid-October, so a jacket or layers were sensible.
