IAP_Seal_blue-with-white-space

The International Academy of Pathology is the largest professional body of pathologists worldwide and the 2022 World Congress in Sydney will see one of the largest exchanges of educational advancements in the world.

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee for the XXXIV International Congress of the International Academy of Pathology (IAP) and the host the Australasian Division of the International Academy of Pathology we are delighted to welcome you all to IAP 2022, to be held in Sydney, Australia, from 11-13 October 2022 virtually and in-person from 14-15 October 2022.

The theme of IAP 2022 is “Bridge to a Cure”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading scientific developments.  IAP 2022 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on all specialities of pathology.  Our Congress Program and sessions reflect this emphasis on science and is designed to trigger collaboration, innovation and discovery from a diverse group of participants.

Australia is a unique land and a diverse country in every way imaginable – in culture, population, climate, geography and history.  The identity of all Australians, but especially our Indigenous Australians, is shaped by our relationship with the natural environment.  Sydney, as host city, has much to offer our delegates, with a diverse range of attractions.

The Australasian Division of the Academy, the host society for IAP 2022, truly embodies the diversity of our profession, welcoming pathologists and industry, who come together to help advance the profession in Australia and beyond.

IAP 2022, Sydney, is an opportunity for delegates to make that once in a lifetime trip downunder and discover why there’s nothing and nowhere quite like Australia.

We have created a dynamic hybrid offering, acknowledging the times we are in, and whether you are able to join us virtually or on-person, you can be assured of a benchmark IAP Congress experience.
