AACC's 12-member volunteer Annual Meeting Organizing Committee (AMOC) attends to all the details of making each year’s AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo a must-attend education and networking event. The committee is constituted two years before the meeting it is responsible for planning, and is charged with developing a timely program that will serve the diverse community of laboratory medicine professionals.
The 2021 Annual Meeting Organizing Committee—chaired by Nathalie Lepage, PhD, FCCMG, FAACC—is planning another scientifically superb event that also promotes networking, business, and professional opportunities.
