Aperio Launches Annual Pathology Visions Conference
Field of Virtual Microscopy and Digital Pathology Gather in San Diego
Vista, CA – October 24, 2005 – Aperio, the leading provider of virtual microscopy systems, hosts the inaugural North American Pathology Visions conference for virtual microscopy best practices in education, research and clinical applications, October 24-25 at Hilton Mission Bay Resort in San Diego, CA. The inaugural meeting for virtual microscopy leaders from the European community will be held November 8-9 at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
This year's Visions conference features a mix of presentations from ScanScope® customers, guest speakers and Aperio staff addressing a range of topics related to the field of virtual microscopy and the rapidly emerging Digital Pathology market. Attendees will also have the opportunity for in-depth demonstrations of Aperio products and solutions, as well as to participate in product enhancement workshops.
"Virtual microscopy is the enabling driver for Digital Pathology, a digital environment for slide-based diagnoses. We've tailored Visions to be a gathering place for thought leaders in both areas to network and share how they are applying virtual microscopy, and to guide Aperio in how to shape the future of this exciting field," said Dirk Soenksen, CEO of Aperio. "Visions provides an opportunity for us to reconcile our product development priorities and understanding of industry trends with evolving customer needs. Attendance at this conference-which includes visitors from China, Japan, Australia, and Canada-exceeded our expectations, underscoring Aperio's emerging leadership position in the field of Digital Pathology."
Visions attendees can expect to learn how to leverage their existing virtual microscopy investments to reap additional benefits. Best practices for next generation digital pathology will also be shared and Aperio executives will discuss the future direction of Aperio and its solutions. Pathology Visions is open to all Aperio customers. For more information, please visit the Aperio website at www.aperio.com.
