Join us this spring in the heart of historic downtown Charleston for the LPA 2026 Spring Meeting, hosted at the elegant Francis Marion Hotel. This annual spring gathering brings together leaders, innovators, and peers from across the laboratory products industry for two days of meaningful connection and professional growth.

Enjoy ample networking opportunities during receptions, group outings, and throughout our focused education program, designed to spark collaboration and actionable insights.

Over the course of a day and a half, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical takeaways, and calls-to-action—for both your company and your personal development. Surrounded by Charleston’s charm and hospitality, this is the perfect setting to recharge, reconnect, and reimagine what’s next for your business and the LPA community.
