What: The Swiss Digital Pathology Consortium (SDiPath) invites you to participate in the 2026 Annual meeting on Thursday, January 15th, 2026, in Bern Switzerland. At this event, we will seek to present to our members examples of ‘real-life’ fully integrated clinical workflows for digital pathology. This is a special showcasing event, where we will give the floor to digital pathology vendors to demonstrate successful implementation projects, prioritizing the integration of their solutions with other software and hardware systems, from the slide to the report, including integration of computational tools (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI), if possible.
Who are we: SDiPath aims to inform, educate, innovate and advance the field of digital pathology and computational pathology in Switzerland (www.sdipath.ch). Our Annual Meetings are very well-attended events (about 100 delegates); our meeting content, workshops, and initiatives are considered cutting edge by our community. SDiPath has more than 180 members, encompassing a large majority of pathologists, followed by computer scientists, researchers, IT professionals and others with interest in digital pathology and AI.

- Presentation of an integrated diagnostic Digital Pathology workflow.
- Teams should consist of at least two different vendors (one LIS vendor and one IMS vendor)
