REAL 2026
About this event
A Boston Seaport summit on physical AI, agentic systems and lab automation in pharma R&D. Ginkgo Bioworks, MilliporeSigma and Zifo bring together leaders from biotech, automation, data and AI for talks, panels and networking.
REAL 2026, short for Readiness & Enablement for Automated Labs, examines how physical AI, agentic platforms, robotics and data systems are changing pharmaceutical research and development. It is a local summit for leaders navigating the practical work of integrating automated labs, not just a general biotech event.
Ginkgo Bioworks hosts the day in the Seaport with MilliporeSigma and Zifo. The program includes talks, panels and a closing reception, with a stated focus on lessons from building next-generation automated labs. Registration is open but reviewed due to limited capacity.
