The newly formed Digital Pathology Association (DPA), a non-profit organization committed to the advancement of digital pathology applications in healthcare, invites interested pathology professionals to join them for the fifth annual Pathology Visions conference, to be held September 13-15 in San Diego, CA, at the Marriott Hotel and Marina.

Pathology Visions brings together leading pathologists and industry thought leaders for a showcase of the very latest in digital pathology technology and applications in healthcare. Registrants will participate in two days of multi-track educational sessions covering innovative topics in digital pathology, stimulating discussions and workshops, and the Pathology Visions Exhibit Hall, in which product solutions by more than 20 vendors and associations in the industry will be featured.

“Pathology Visions provides an excellent roadmap for all types of healthcare professionals and service providers interested in learning about digital pathology solutions and deployment strategies,” said Dirk G. Soenksen, president of the Digital Pathology Association. “We are excited to have such a distinguished group of speakers this year from a broad range of digital pathology arenas.”

Although the conference is in its fifth year, 2009 marks the first year that it will become the annual meeting of the Digital Pathology Association. The recently formed Board of Directors will hold their inaugural meeting during the conference, as will the Industry Council, composed of DPA sponsors and supporters in the digital pathology community.
