Unlock Your Leadership Potential at ELMC2: Emerging Laboratory Managers Collaborative Conference

Save the Date: 2025 ELMC2 - Friday, January 24 - Saturday, January 25

What is ELMC2?

Hosted by ASCLS, the Emerging Laboratory Managers Collaborative Conference (ELMC2) is a one-of-a-kind all-virtual event that prepares medical laboratory professionals to thrive in management positions. ELMC2 provides convenient professional development designed to empower you to seamlessly transition into leadership.

The fifth annual event will instill the skills to lead and take on management/leadership positions within and outside the laboratory. Get real-world advice on how to understand and speak the languages of quality with other professionals with whom you interface, including nursing, pharmacy, and medicine.

Who Should Attend?

If you are laboratory professional pressed into management without any training, someone who aspires to join the ranks of management, or an experienced manager who just wants a refresher, ELMC2 is the perfect educational opportunity.

Why ELMC2?

Recent ASCP vacancy surveys have unveiled a pressing need for skilled leaders in the core lab, especially as nearly one-third of managers plan to retire in the next five years. In critical areas like hematology and microbiology, this percentage is even higher. As a new generation steps into these roles, many find themselves navigating uncharted territories without proper training. ASCLS is strategically focused on equipping those professionals with the skills to succeed.

Here's what last year's attendees loved about ELMC2

  • “Having spoken with a number of staff members who participated in the conference, everyone was thrilled with the content offered. Statements like, ‘I didn’t even mind that it was on a Saturday,’ were heard repeatedly … It was thoughtful, thought provoking, energizing, and invigorating.”
  • “Great resources recommended. I already bought four books.”
  • “The topics covered were very wide ranging, which was great.”
  • “Despite being virtual, the environment felt warm and inviting.”
