Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine - ADLM Annual Meeting 2026

Registration is open online through July 24, with onsite registration available at the Anaheim Convention Center. Onsite registration will be available at the Anaheim Convention Center, but registering ahead saves both money and time; ADLM flagged June 4 as the deadline for the lowest available registration rate, with online registration open through July 24 before onsite rates apply.

ADLM is the professional organization formerly known as AACC (the American Association for Clinical Chemistry), and the meeting was previously called the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo. Formerly known as the AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, ADLM has evolved into one of the most influential gatherings for laboratory medicine professionals worldwide.

The meeting has a long history and rotates among major U.S. convention cities. Poster abstracts from the annual meeting are archived dating back to 2010, and past host cities include Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, New Orleans, and Anaheim, with editions documented as far back as the 1970s. Anaheim previously hosted the meeting in 1995 and 1982. Upcoming editions are scheduled for the Anaheim Convention Center in 2026, McCormick Place in Chicago in 2027 and 2028, a return to the Anaheim Convention Center in 2029, and McCormick Place again in 2030.
