Join us Sept. 23–24, 2026, in Rochester, Minnesota, for our annual outreach conference. This year’s event, Leveraging the Laboratory: Bold Thinking. Big Impact., focuses on how innovative approaches and strategic decision-making can drive meaningful results for health system laboratory outreach programs.

Hear from health system executives, industry experts, and experienced outreach leaders as they share practical insights on optimizing operations, identifying growth opportunities, and navigating an evolving healthcare environment. Through real-world examples and actionable strategies, sessions will highlight how bold ideas can translate into measurable impact.

Participants will gain perspective on expanding their laboratory’s presence in the community, strengthening internal partnerships, and applying competitive strategies that support sustainable success. The conference also offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and learn from organizations that are making a difference through thoughtful, forward-looking outreach initiatives.

Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

• Develop and advance a laboratory outreach strategy. 
• Establish a competitive advantage. 
• Refine outreach infrastructure areas.
• Connect and share best practices with peers.
