On behalf of the Australasian Association for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine (AACB), we are pleased to invite you to the 63rd AACB Annual Scientific Conference, which will be held in Melbourne from September 14 - 17, 2026 at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre (MCEC).

With the theme "The Practical Clinical Laboratory", this year’s conference highlights the vital role laboratories play in turning innovation into real‑world patient care. The program features three days of keynote presentations, industry engagement, symposia, oral and poster sessions, and extensive networking opportunities.

Complementing the main program are three satellite events. The Early Career Scientist Forum offers dedicated development and mentoring for emerging scientists, followed by the hands‑on Lot‑to‑Lot Verification Workshop for chemical pathologists and laboratory scientists. Rounding out the week, the Clinical Mass Spectrometry Meeting at the Bio21 Institute on 18–19 September will explore the latest advances and applications in clinical mass spectrometry.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne in 2026.
