SafeLink Consulting is proud to be a contributing sponsor of the Cal-Lab Meeting on February 19–20, 2026. This milestone event marks the Cal-Lab Association’s 100th meeting, “Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future.” This centennial gathering reflects a long history of innovation, collaboration, and leadership within the dental laboratory community. Special festivities to commemorate this occasion will be held at the Swissôtel in Chicago, IL, providing members and industry partners with an elevated environment to connect, learn, and celebrate together.
The Cal-Lab Meeting remains a prestigious, members-only event where the latest technology, trends, and products are introduced each year. Attendees typically include owners, managers, and key decision-makers from dental laboratories across the country, making it a valuable opportunity for strategic conversations and peer-to-peer learning. Educational sessions, panel discussions, and exhibitor interactions focus on practical strategies for improving quality, efficiency, compliance, and patient outcomes. Membership is required to register and attend, and dues must be current for the year in which the meeting takes place, reinforcing the Association’s commitment to providing value and exclusivity for its members.
Mary Bartlett shared: “As a contributing sponsor and exhibitor, we look forward to connecting with everyone each year. Reaching 100 annual meetings is a remarkable accomplishment for the association. We’re excited to be part of this special 100th annual meeting and to offer something special to members who visit our table at the event.” SafeLink’s team will be available to talk with attendees about current regulatory expectations, practical ways to strengthen safety, quality and privacy programs, and how laboratories can stay ahead of evolving HIPAA, OSHA and FDA requirements. Members stopping by the SafeLink table can expect helpful resources, conversations tailored to their unique challenges, and information about upcoming trainings and educational opportunities.
This meeting is being held in conjunction with the LMT Lab Day event, giving attendees the chance to participate in both the Cal-Lab Association’s focused, member-driven programming and the broader industry activities at Lab Day. Together, these events offer a full schedule of education, networking, and exposure to new technologies and services.
