International Delegations

Connect with U.S. suppliers at the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Trade Event Partnership Program

The AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo is pleased to participate in the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Trade Event Partnership Program (TEPP). The TEPP is designed to optimize the participation of international buyers seeking innovative solutions offered by exhibiting U.S. suppliers.

Leveraging the global network of the U.S. Commercial Service offices located in U.S. embassies and consulates, the TEPP recruits pre-screened foreign buyer delegations and connects them with U.S. exhibitors at the Clinical Lab Expo. As part of the TEPP, AACC will survey both international delegates and U.S. exhibitors regarding their respective purchasing and selling interests to facilitate and schedule pre-arranged business-to-business (B2B) appointments using an online scheduling platform. Members of a U.S. Department of Commerce-led international delegation will receive:

• A complimentary Expo Only pass (the cost of the pass is $10 for non-TEPP delegates).
• Complimentary access to the International Trade Center located at McCormick Place for B2B meetings with U.S. exhibitors, private meeting rooms, and Wi-Fi.
• The Export Interest Directory, a booklet of U.S. exhibitors who export or indicate an interest in exporting by country.
