History
The 2026 event marks the 26th Annual LAB DAY East. Since its debut in 2000, LAB DAY East has become a must-attend event on the East Coast. LMT Founder Judy Fishman sought ways to bring technicians together for an exchange of information and ideas, while manufacturers eager to offer programs targeted specifically for laboratories were looking for opportunities to do so. The broader LAB DAY franchise dates back further — LMT's LAB DAY trade shows have been bringing buyers and sellers together in a friendly, informal atmosphere since 1985. Over the years the East show has been hosted in several venues, including Atlantic City, NJ, before returning to New York, and it now takes place annually at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown, NY.
