MicroTAS 2026 will again have Industry TechTalks as part of the conference program, providing our benefactors with the opportunity to deliver a 20-minute presentation within one of the parallel sessions of the technical program. These will be scheduled between a keynote lecture and the technical program to create a thematic session.
Tech Talks must inform conference attendees of scientific or technical advances, case studies, or new technologies that are relevant and important to the µTAS community (see conference topics) including the following Hot Topics:
- Microphysiological Systems and Organoids
- Wearables and Hand-Held Devices
- Microfluidics as Facilitating Technology
- Micro and Nanophotonic Technologies
It is appreciated that Benefactors may use the presentation to highlight their products or services where relevant to the scientific or technical content being presented. However, purely promotional or marketing content is strongly discouraged. Tech Talks will be presented during the technical program in a relevant session.
- All benefactors/exhibitors are invited to submit an Expression of Interest – EOI (short proposal; 500 words) describing their TechTalk by Monday, 19 May 2026.
- TechTalk EOI’s will be evaluated and ranked by the Sponsor and Exhbitor Committee.
- Ranked EOI’s will be aligned with orals identified from the technical program process to create a thematic session.
- Benefactors are encouraged to promote submission of technical abstracts to MicroTAS through their network to increase likelihood of having a thematic session.
- Successful contributors will be contacted directly for confirmation and payment.
- Benefactors may submit more than one EOI, but only one presentation will be awarded per company.
- Send EOI to exhibits@microtas2026.org by Monday, 19 May 2026
