Choose sessions that match your interests and experience at this in-person event. Your workshop fee gives you complete access to all the sessions.

Experts to guide you

Every workshop session is led by LOINC's team of experts and community leaders. You'll be face-to-face with the people who build and use the standard on a daily basis. They're eager to help you learn how to use LOINC.

We've organized the sessions with plenty of time for questions. You'll be able to get your specific topic addressed.
