The 2024 AABB Annual Meeting will feature many opportunities for education, networking and more. Here are some of highlights of events and content attendees can expect at this year’s meeting.

New! AABB Learning Theater

New to the Exhibit Hall this year, the AABB Learning Theater will host both corporate education alongside shorter, more informal education on selected topics. The AABB Foundation will also present "Scholars on Stage" where AABB Foundation Scholars will present briefly on their research.

Abstract “Spotlight” Sessions

These 90-minute sessions will feature renowned experts in the field as they discuss current issues and the "state of the science” on a select topic with selected abstract authors.

Live Curated Poster Tours

Enjoy curated tours of select top scientific posters in person during the meeting. Tours will take place Sunday, Oct. 20, and Monday, Oct. 21 in the AABB Learning Theatre in the Exhibit Hall. Each will consist of a brief overview of the selected abstract posters by the author, followed by a short question-and-answer period between the tour moderator, abstract author and audience.
