Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the LMCE 2016 (Laboratory Medicine Congress & Exhibition) & KSLM 57th Annual Meeting which will be hosted by the Korean Society for Laboratory Medicine and held from October 26 to 28, 2016, at The-K Hotel in Seoul, Korea.

As the first international scientific meeting in the field of laboratory medicine in the Asian region, LMCE 2016 is expected to gather over 1,000 participants from all over the world.

Under the theme of "Quality Saves Your Life,” a wide range of scientific programs are being organized which will balance education, policy, research and industry. The programs will include exciting and informative plenary lectures, keynote speeches, symposia, education workshops, oral presentations, poster presentations and exhibition. Moreover, LMCE 2016 will invite speakers from a variety of countries and provide opportunities for the exchange of the most up-to-date information about each country’s efforts to meet quality management and safety for laboratory medicine.

As challenges from the outside persist, there is no better time than the present to make preparations for the future together. Therefore, we truly believe LMCE 2016 will be a highly rewarding international congress to bring further enhancement of the scientific level and quality to our field. Additionally, we encourage you to take this chance to enjoy the many attractions the beautiful city of Seoul has to offer. We look forward to seeing you in Seoul, Korea!

Sincerely,
