COVID Statement: We are currently planning to: (1) require all attendees to be vaccinated (2 doses, booster recommended but not required), (2) require
all attendees to take a test upon arrival with onsite provider Virus Geeks, and (3) request that attendees respectfully follow any listed rules and/or requirements for conference
center and hotel venues, as well as establishments throughout the city. The current mask policy in Monterey: Face coverings strongly recommended for all persons indoors regardless of vaccination status. -- updated March 24, 2022
It is important for all attendees to understand that many of the people that you are traveling to MSACL to network with, share your science with, or sell your products to are only comfortable with spending extended periods of time indoors eating, drinking,
and
chatting with you if they know that everyone has been vaccinated and tested.
MSACL's mission is to support the community in overcoming the challenges of implementing high value tests in the clinical lab.
MSACL is focused on providing a forum of interaction for participants in all stages of the development, advancement and use of analytical tools, including data analytics, in the clinic to improve patient care. Although the group primarily focuses on mass spectrometry, presentations and discussion on other platforms are welcome.
The Monterey Conference Center (MCC) is flanked by two hotels, the Marriott, and the Portola. Each has meeting space and their own restaurant. The food is of reasonably high quality since Monterey is located in the heart of an agricultural region. Local sourcing is a priority. Portola also has a brewpub (Peter B’s).
We will be using the Monterey Conference Center’s Serra Ballroom as the MSACL Exhibit Hall (19,150 square feet). There will be space for at least 40 booths interspersed with up to 176 posters.
We typically have 800-900 attendees in a NORMAL year. This is our first time planning for an in-person since the pandemic resulted in the cancellation of our 2020 event. Given the uncertainty, we are planning to welcome ~400 attendees for 2022.
