I very much regret that we have had to cancel the planned 2012 Symposium on "The Contribution of the Diagnostic Industry to Laboratory Quality" on 28th November.
Whereas I had a positive response from all the company staff I spoke to at ACB Focus in May, this did not translate into any company putting up a speaker. In fact a significant number did not even have the courtesy to reply to my emails!
This was a surprising and extremely disappointing outcome to a unique opportunity for the Companies to showcase their quality management processes. I do not recall there ever being a Symposium of this nature.
This situation has left us too little time to develop a new theme, so we have decided to defer the date of the Symposium to Tuesday 19th March 2013. The theme and speakers will be announced as soon as possible.
Enjoy the summer!
