The next International IVF Initiative session, Session 176, Beyond the Bench: Managing the Modern IVF Laboratory, takes place on Tuesday 13 October 2026 at 3pm EDT / 8pm BST / 9pm CEST (19:00 UTC). It treats the IVF laboratory as a managed system as well as a bench science. International IVF Initiative

Alana Streisfield and Dr Daniela Braga moderate three talks:

• Naval Shah, "Quality Enhanced: Turning Quality Data into IVF Outcomes".
• Dr Yaron Goikhman, "IVF in the AI era and how it will influence the future of reproductive medicine".
• Mª José De los Santos Molina, "Every Step Matters: Patient Identification and Traceability in MAR" (MAR: medically assisted reproduction).

A live Q&A follows the talks. The sponsors are Labintelix by Shivani Scientific, FertilAI and Matcher/Reprotech. Zoom registration

For laboratory teams, the themes map onto everyday work: linking daily QC readings and KPIs to outcomes, and judging where AI tools fit. The third is keeping witnessing and traceability robust at every step where gametes and embryos are handled.
