On July 15, 2025, Internet2 and LabArchives invite you to an engaging webinar that goes beyond the basics. Discover how a leading expert tackles the real-world challenges facing research institutions and medical schools today.

This dynamic session, led by Byron Deane, Product Owner and Senior BSA for Research Technology at UMass Chan Medical School, goes beyond standard feature demonstrations, offering a dynamic, scenario-driven discussion. Byron will step into the roles of various campus executives, addressing the real-world questions and challenges they encounter. Drawing on both role-play and his lived experience, he’ll demonstrate how a unified Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) strategy can deliver strategic value across units.
