We’ll explore common sources of unnecessary manual work and opportunities for automation and standardisation. \nThe focus is not on learning Empower functionalities\, but on rethinking familiar workflows and discovering practical ways to save time\, reduce repetitive tasks\, and work more efficiently. \nSpeaker\nInessa Peters\, Founder of LabWissen | Empower™ CDS Consultant & Trainer \nInessa Peters is an Empower™ CDS consultant and trainer with extensive experience helping pharmaceutical and other regulated laboratories work more effectively with Empower. \nAs a former Waters Education Specialist\, she has trained Empower users across different levels of experience and supported laboratories with workflows\, data processing\, reporting\, and GMP-compliant use of Empower. \nThrough LabWissen\, Inessa focuses on making Empower easier to understand and helping laboratory teams use the system more efficiently\, confidently\, and consistently. \nIntended audience\nThis SwAPP Cast session is intended for Empower users who work with the system on a regular basis and would like to improve the efficiency of their workflows\, as well as managers leading laboratory teams\, working with Empower. \nBasic familiarity with Empower is recommended. However\, newcomers to therapeutic products and regulated laboratory environments are equally welcome. \nYour Next Steps\n\nMark October 28th\, 2026 from 11:00 to 12:00 in your calendar.\nShare this invitation within your network! Everyone interested in connecting with our community is welcome to join.\nRegister below by October 21st.\nYou will receive by email the Teams access link two days prior to the session.\n\nCertification\nThis event is certified with 1 SwAPP credit point. \nParticipation fees\nThe event is free of charge for SwAPP members\, and a participation of CHF 50.- applies for non-members. \nNot yet a SwAPP member?
