PyLabRobot Happy Hour @ SLAS '26

​Escape the expo floor and go underground with us.

​While the industry giants are busy upstairs, the real revolution is brewing in the basement. Join us for a lively evening at the PyLabRobot Happy Hour, a spirited gathering for the open-source underdogs of lab automation.

​Hosted by Rick Wierenga and Luis Villa, this event takes place at Lucky’s Lounge, a hidden gem in the Seaport that captures the essence of a Prohibition-era hideout. Look for the unmarked door, descend the stairs, and leave the corporate gloss behind for a night of retro cool, stiff drinks, and unfiltered conversation.

​This gathering is off the grid: no SLAS badge or conference ticket is required. Whether you are a longtime contributor to the library or just curious about the "underground" alternative to standard automation, come raise a glass with us.

​Where: Lucky’s Lounge (The secret spot on Congress St).
When: February 10. 7:30.
Who: The PyLabRobot community & the curious.
Vibe: Speakeasy style.
Password: Serpent.
