The International Clinical Cytometry Society (ICCS) is an international organization to serve the needs of those involved in the current and emerging clinical applications of cytometry. The ICCS 2024 Meeting & Course is designed for Laboratory Directors, Physicians, Laboratory Managers and Supervisors, Clinical Laboratory Scientists/Medical Technologists, and Residents/ Fellows. The goals of these events are to help participants increase their knowledge of current tools and technologies available for patient sample analysis, better understand the accepted methodologies and benchmarks for patient sample analysis and diagnosis, and to increase their competence in using analytical software applications.
