The 2025 SEFA Annual Conference at Trump National Doral brought together leaders in laboratory design, manufacturing, and safety. Our team — Karan Agarwal and Joe Beilfuss — joined colleagues from across the industry to discuss SEFA standards, share solutions, and explore the latest innovations in SEFA-compliant casework, fume hoods, work surfaces, and integrated lab systems.

Beyond the daytime sessions, post-event networking created space for deeper conversation and collaboration. These informal meetups are where ideas become partnerships—fueling better project outcomes for our clients and the laboratories we build.

What We Took Away

• SEFA standards in focus: continued emphasis on performance, safety, and interoperability across casework, fume hoods, fixtures, and work surfaces.
• Design for flexibility: adaptable, reconfigurable benching and storage to support fast-changing research programs.
• Lifecycle value: materials and finishes that maximize durability, chemical resistance, and long-term ROI.
• Collaboration matters: partnerships across manufacturers, installers, architects, and owners accelerate better lab outcomes.
