Live from LMT Lab Day Chicago, Elvis and Barb capture three conversations that highlight the future of the lab industry. From Savannah and Josh’s fast-moving digital removable workflows at GPS Digital RPD, to Darin McCue’s blunt reminder that labs need strong leadership—not just great technicians and how Saleslift Consulting can help—and finally Vicki and Carrie’s push to empower smaller labs through smarter partnerships and buying power with Savvy Lab Solutions, every discussion points to the same truth: adapting isn’t optional.
