The Digital Diagnostic Summit focuses on the practical deployment of digital diagnostic technologies, not only in the pathology office, but also in the clinic and laboratory. The Summit is September 17-19, 2023, at the elite St. Regis Hotel in Park City, Utah. It will feature industry experts and peers discussing how to materially improve the quality of your practice, reduce costs, and grow your business with the latest technology solutions available.
Why should I attend the DDX Summit?
Going beyond the theoretical and aspirational, we will be dissecting strategies for the practical and successful use of digital pathology for primary diagnosis on a daily basis. Expert speakers will also share knowledge that can be applied to the clinic, lab, and pathology suite today. You will learn about:
- The regulatory landscape for digital pathology and AI.
- How technologies introduced at the clinic can work seamlessly with the lab and pathologist to bring value to all stakeholders, including the patient.
- The benefits of partnering with your pathologist to solve the complexities of genetic test ordering.
- How new technologies can standardize and streamline the ordering of molecular testing for all relevant patients.
Additionally, you get to spend time in beautiful Park City networking with peers and enjoying premier outdoor excursions.
