The Signal

The ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting, formerly known as the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting, is a major gathering for the global clinical laboratory community. Organized by the Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine, it presents research and technology in clinical chemistry and molecular diagnostics. Attendees gather to examine new diagnostic instruments, laboratory automation systems, and molecular testing platforms. This event is vital for clinical lab directors, researchers, and diagnostics manufacturers seeking to understand the regulatory and technological trends shaping patient testing.

What to expect

Announcements of new in vitro diagnostic systems
Debates on regulatory paths for laboratory developed tests
Presentations of clinical trial data for novel biomarkers

Who is in the room

Clinical laboratory professionals, pathologists, researchers, IVD manufacturers, and medical device executives attend the event.

Background

The event grew alongside the field of clinical chemistry, expanding to encompass molecular pathology and genomics. It rebranded in 2023 when the American Association for Clinical Chemistry became the Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine.
