The 2026 CTE Global Lab Roundtable will be held April 21-23 at the JW Marriott attached to the Mall of America. After hearing from you, we’ve lengthened the format to provide more time for conversation and collaboration. The two-and-a-half day event will include networking activities, presentations and discussion sessions on the latest industry innovations and best practices to take back to your lab. Make sure to reserve your spot for this premier training event for your lab team. Registration closes Friday, March 13th.

At 2:15PM we will meet in the lobby of the JW Marriott and take a shuttle to the CTE Global Technology Center. There will be an interactive tour and look at our latest technology and testing methods. From there, we will take the shuttle to the nearby O’Shaughnessy Distilling Co. for a tour and dinner before being transported back to the hotel.
