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.
