2026 Labvocate Symposium

October 12-13 | Old Town Alexandria, VA | Virtual

The annual Labvocate Symposium gives you the chance to come together with medical laboratory professionals from six laboratory organizations (including NSH) and make our concerns known inside Congress.

The Labvocate Symposium provides a great education on the how-tos of lobbying. You are coached on presentation techniques so you can effectively talk to your congressional representatives during appointments. You’ll also learn all the important details about the legislative policies affecting our profession so you can labvocate with confidence.

This year's symposium will focus on medical laboratory reimbursement legislation—the Results Act—and the Medical Laboratory Personnel Shortage Relief Act.

The event is held at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town in Alexandria, Virginia. In-person and virtual attendee options are available.
