Special Sessions
Sunday Special Session
Sunday: 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
A special session at this year’s meeting will cover how the pandemic forced laboratory medicine into the spotlight unlike any other event in modern history. As such, the media became the mouthpiece for the dissemination of most information, both that which was factual and that which was fiction. This session illustrates the experience of a journalist whose career quickly pivoted to cover timely breakthroughs related to lab allocation, resulting, and testing. Further, his dual role as a journalist and co-founder of The COVID Tracking Project allowed him unique insight into how to communicate big data to the country. To this day, The COVID Tracking Project is unsurpassed by any other data repository.
AACC Disruptive Technology Award Session
Monday: 4:30 p.m. - 6 p.m.
In AACC’s Disruptive Technology Award session, diagnostic developers will present data on innovative artificial intelligence and machine learning-based testing solutions to a panel of expert judges, who will then choose the winning testing solution based on feasibility and performance.
