In view of the ongoing spread of COVID-19 across the world and its growing global impact, the American Association for Clinical Chemistry {(AACC) Washington, DC, USA} has decided to reschedule the 2020 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo to December in order to ensure a healthy and safe meeting experience for all attendees. The AACC Clinical Lab Expo was originally scheduled to be held July 26-30, 2020 in Chicago, IL, USA.

AACC is a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to clinical laboratory science and its application to healthcare. AACC helps lab professionals adapt to change and provides vital insight and guidance so patients get the care they need. With more than 800 companies exhibiting, the AACC Clinical Lab Expo is the world’s largest exposition for clinical laboratory products and services.

AACC’s leadership has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and consulting members, staff, industry, and other experts. Based on input from all stakeholder groups, and in close collaboration with host city officials, the AACC has announced that it will be able to preserve the complete Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo experience to which its members, exhibitors, and the entire laboratory medicine community have been looking forward.

The 2020 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo will now be held December 13 – 17, 2020 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL, USA. Rescheduling the event will enable AACC to provide the experience that its attendees and exhibitors expect. The AACC has reaffirmed that the association remains committed to supporting the essential work of laboratory medicine professionals and to holding an event that unites and strengthens the industry in the face of enormous challenges.
