KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

The Australasian Division of the International Academy of Pathology is dedicated to fostering education, research and to advance the knowledge in pathology.

The conference aims to provide attendees with updates, recent research results and knowledge to enhance their day-to-day practice of pathology and enable them to tackle challenges ahead.

Exhibiting at the Annual Scientific meeting puts your organisation in front of some of the key decision makers in Pathology. The International Academy’s Annual Scientific Meeting is one of the largest regular gatherings of anatomical pathologists within the region with 500+ registrants every year. The event is dynamic and inspiring, including a fantastic mix of formal lectures, symposia, oral workshops and poster presentations plus a variety of exhibits – all covering a wide spectrum of topics.

The society’s premiere event brings together a global gathering of world-renowned pathologists who are acknowledged leaders in their own branch of anatomic pathology. Supporting this important educational forum demonstrates our mutual commitment to pathology and continuing professional development for pathologists working in our region. In addition to directly promoting your brand and displaying your products, your involvement will give you the opportunity to communicate and network with key personnel from both hospital and private laboratory practice and connect with decision makers and early adopters of new technologies, software and services.

The exhibition runs alongside the conference and gives your company/organisation the opportunity to display your product and/or service to potential clients.

This prospectus outlines, in general terms, the various ways in which you and your organisation may wish to participate as a valued sponsor or exhibitor. The Academy will be delighted to work with you to develop a more customised package that directly meets your specific needs.
