The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM), formerly known as the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), is a leading international professional organization dedicated to advancing laboratory medicine and clinical science. Founded in 1948, the association represents clinical laboratorians, pathologists, clinical chemists, and in vitro diagnostics professionals who develop, validate, and apply laboratory tests that are vital to modern healthcare.
ADLM’s mission is to improve patient care and public health by fostering scientific exchange, supporting innovation, and promoting the critical role of diagnostics in medical decision‑making. ADLM organizes a robust portfolio of educational programs, publications, and events anchored by its flagship ADLM Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo, one of the world’s largest gatherings for laboratory medicine and in vitro diagnostics.
The Expo features hundreds of exhibitors showcasing analyzers, reagents, point‑of‑care systems, informatics, AI‑enabled solutions, and emerging technologies for clinical laboratories and related sectors. Through this event and year‑round virtual and in‑person meetings, ADLM connects manufacturers, laboratories, academic centers, and healthcare systems seeking to accelerate translational research and bring new diagnostic tools to market.
Beyond events, ADLM publishes Clinical Laboratory News (CLN) and the peer‑reviewed journal Clinical Chemistry, as well as podcasts and guidelines that interpret scientific trends and regulatory developments for practitioners and industry. The association also coordinates specialized divisions and local sections, enabling targeted networking and expertise in areas such as molecular diagnostics, informatics, and pediatric testing.
With members across the United States and around the world, ADLM provides exhibitors and attendees unparalleled access to a global community of diagnostic decision‑makers, offering a high‑value platform for product launches, partnerships, and thought leadership in laboratory medicine.
