Our Take
Why Exhibit
The world's largest clinical lab expo with 800+ exhibitors. 80% of attendees plan to purchase within 2 years — the highest confirmed buyer intent in our entire conference database. Lab directors and clinical chemists have significant purchasing authority over IVD analyzers, reagents, and automation systems worth millions per contract.
Why Skip
The sheer size (800+ exhibitors) means intense competition for attention. Booth costs are premium-tier even though exact pricing is not public. If you are a small IVD startup, you will be dwarfed by Roche, Abbott, Siemens, and Beckman Coulter mega-booths. Consider USCAP or CAP for more intimate pathology-adjacent exposure.
Insider Tips
Managed by Spargo Inc (same as AAGL, ACC). 80% purchase-intent-within-2-years is a flagship stat for blog content. Rebranded from AACC — always use 'ADLM (formerly AACC)' for SEO to capture both search terms. Pricing gated — must request prospectus.
