ASCLS Region X “Spring Training Conference” March 5th – 8th 2012 Highlights

The conference, held at the Phoenix Marriott Mesa Hotel and Convention Center, provided a great opportunity for ASCLS members and associated laboratory professionals to meet regionally, attend program sessions, view vendor exhibits, and gather in social activities with colleagues and industry representatives.  The conference was well attended with participants coming from AZ, NV, CA, HI, WA, and ID. Most attendees participated in all 3 days of the conference, while some attended for 1 or 2 days.  Participation in conference sessions added up to 138 days of continuing education with PACE credit.

 

 

The Exhibit Hall was filled with 28 booths representing vendors, sponsors, and ASCLS membership.  Exhibit hours from 10:00am to 4:00pm on Wednesday and Thursday included catered hot lunches and afforded ample time to spend viewing instrumentation, products, and services, and talking with vendors.
