Join the interest list

Name, email and explicit Alliance-only updates consent are required. Company, role, location and interests are optional. Details stay private; general newsletter signup is separate. This is interest only, not confirmed membership or an event booking.

Independent laboratories. Connected leaders.

For independent testing and contract laboratory owners, directors, quality managers, technical specialists, operations leaders and testing or research professionals. Bring a practical question, a complementary capability or an interest in learning from peers—not a requirement to buy or sell a service.

The Mountain West is the regional focus. Express interest from your location so future arrangements can reflect travel, sample logistics and local needs. There is no confirmed geographic membership boundary or promise of activities in any particular city.

Useful connections, without promises

The aim is to create space for practical expertise exchange: understand complementary methods, discuss capacity gaps, compare leadership approaches and explore research connections. Introductions and future activities depend on interest, permission and arrangements. No business, supplier approval or technical qualification is guaranteed.

Planned activities—not a calendar

Initial Salt Lake City meeting coming soon — date and venue TBD. Laboratory leaders across the western U.S. and western Canada are welcome. Invitations include Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Alberta, British Columbia. Proposed virtual roundtables enable wider participation; in-person Salt Lake City and lab-hosted/in-house meetings depend on host permission, confidentiality and safety arrangements.

Potential hosts and speakers can express interest privately. Proposed topics include laboratory setup and expansion, equipment/shared facilities, quality/accreditation, hiring, automation/LIMS and business development. No activity, date, venue, speaker, fee, sponsor or member is confirmed.
