The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia’s (RCPA) choice of Adelaide as the host city for Pathology Update 2024 has been vindicated, with more than 1,300 delegates expected to attend, a 60% increase on expectations.
The annual business event is heading to South Australia for the first time with the theme ‘Answers in Adelaide’. It will feature an array of local and international speakers, and organisers have been delighted with the level of interest shown.
Associate Professor Trishe Leong, RCPA President, said that registrations had exceeded expectations. “The Overseeing Committee were impressed by Adelaide’s accessibility – how easy it is to get around and how close the research and innovation districts are to the business event venue, hotels and the CBD,” said Associate Professor Leong. “We have been very pleased that our enthusiasm to visit Adelaide is being shared by our delegates, and it augers well for a successful business event.”
The RCPA is the leading organisation representing Pathologists and Senior Scientists in the region. Its mission is to train and support pathologists, and to improve the use of pathology testing to achieve better healthcare.
Pathology Update is Australasia’s largest multi-disciplinary pathology conference covering all disciplines of pathology. Of special interest in 2024 will be presentations highlighting Artificial Intelligence and its impact on pathology.
