** Call for Abstracts & Registration - Now Open **

We are thrilled to invite you to the AACB 63rd Annual Scientific Conference which will be held at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre in Melbourne VIC from the 14-17 September 2026.  Pre and Post Satellite Meeting will also be included with an Early Career Forum on the 14 Sept and a 2-day Clinical Mass Spectrometry (CMS) Satellite Meeting on 18-19 Sept at Bio21 (University of Melbourne).

This year’s theme, The Practical Clinical Laboratory, highlights the essential role of the laboratory in translating innovation into real-world patient care. It emphasises the laboratory as a place of action and application where theory, emerging technologies and clinical guidelines are transformed into meaningful outcomes that support diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.

The programme will feature three full days of keynote presentations, industry engagement and exhibition, symposia, oral and poster presentations and extensive networking and social opportunities.

Located in the heart of Melbourne, Australia’s cultural and biomedical innovation hub, the conference experience will be complemented by two key satellite events. The Early Career Scientist Forum, held immediately before the conference, will offer rising scientists dedicated opportunities for professional development, collaboration and mentoring. Following the main conference, the Clinical Mass Spectrometry meeting will bring together experts and practitioners to discuss the latest advances, applications and challenges in mass spectrometry within clinical laboratories.

We look forward to seeing you to Melbourne.
