Scientific Sessions represent the core of AACC’s Annual Scientific Meeting with more than 70 sessions that take place from Monday – Thursday as either 1.5- or 2.5-hour sessions. Scientific Sessions present the latest scientific information on all aspects of laboratory medicine and include a variety of education formats, presentation styles, and audience engagements. Scientific Sessions also include specially developed and invited sessions from AACC collaborations and divisions.
AACC University Courses are special ticketed events (access is an additional cost) that take place on Sunday as either 3- or 6-hour sessions for up to 48 participants per course. These 10-15 courses are interactive, case-based by design, and often include hands-on exercises and tutorials in small group formats. They focus on practical application of key skills that will advance participants' careers and topics may range across the spectrum of laboratory medicine. Seating is limited.
Roundtables are special ticketed sessions (only $25 per session in advance/$30 per session onsite*) that take place from Monday – Wednesday as 1-hour interactive small group discussions with up to 10 participants. These small groups allow for a unique and highly engaging experience where participants get direct interaction with the presenter and opportunities to both learn and ask questions. Topics range across the spectrum of laboratory medicine and focus on practical skills and case examples. Each Roundtable is presented twice, with one session in the morning (7:30 – 8:30 a.m. local time) and one session during mid-day (12:30 – 1:30 p.m. local time). Seating is very limited, and sessions often sell out quickly. *Please note onsite availability is very limited.
The AACC Annual Scientific Meeting is also home to specially developed sessions and competitions.
