Conference Program

Call for Proposals Opens September 14

From Plenaries featuring world-renowned scientists to cutting-edge Scientific Sessions and intimate Roundtables geared for lively discussion on hot topics, ADLM 2024 (formerly the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo) offers something for everyone in laboratory medicine.

ADLM’s 2024 Annual Meeting Organizing Committee (AMOC) is designing a scientific program to provide you with the knowledge you need to advance professionally, the skills to improve your practice, and opportunities to collaborate and learn from experts. The committee is planning more than 250 educational opportunities in a variety of formats spanning the breadth of laboratory medicine. The ADLM 2024 scientific program is expected to be available in early April 2024.

In the meantime, learn more about the various education opportunities that meeting participants will have access to:

PLENARY SESSIONS

Each day, Sunday – Thursday, the conference begins with a thought-provoking Plenary delivered as a keynote lecture by a world-renowned expert. Plenaries address timely topics applicable to all laboratorians and span the breadth of research and medicine.

SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

Scientific Sessions represent the core of ADLM 2024 with nearly 70 sessions taking place from Monday – Thursday. 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 ADLM collaborations and divisions. The ADLM 2024 scientific program is expected to be available in early April 2024.

ADLM UNIVERSITY COURSES

ADLM University Courses are part of a special ticketed preconference event that takes place on Sunday as either 3- or 6-hour workshop-style courses for 30-50 participants per course. These courses are highly interactive, typically 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. Registration will open in early April 2024.

ROUNDTABLES

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. Registration will open in early April 2024.
*Please note onsite availability is very limited.

SPECIAL COMPETITIONS

ADLM 2024 is also home to specially developed sessions and competitions.

ADLM’s Disruptive Technology Award Competition

Monday, July 29
At this special session held in the plenary hall, three diagnostic developers will present data on their innovative technologies. A panel of expert judges will then evaluate all presented testing solutions based on feasibility and performance, and the audience will also vote for their favorite technology. Learn more about this year's Disruptive Technology Award Competition.

Student Research Awards Competition

Monday, July 29
ADLM’s Student Research Awards Competition is held each year for students and post-doctoral fellows who are presenting authors of accepted poster abstracts for the Annual Scientific Meeting. Students’ posters are on display in a session room throughout the day and the top scoring submitters will compete in the Student Oral Presentation Competition. Judges evaluate both the poster presentations and oral presentations with winners announced at the ABCC-SYCL reception.
