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.

IAP 2022 - Thank you

Hosting IAP last year in the beautiful Harbour city of Sydney was an opportunity for delegates to reconnect with colleagues, and for others to make that once in a lifetime trip Down Under and discover why there’s nothing and nowhere quite like Australia.

More than 1291 registrants (741 present at the Congress) and 550 participants online, enjoyed the scientific program.

We want to thank everyone who supported the IAP 2022.

Not withstanding the ups and downs of planning a World Congress during a global pandemic, there was a dynamic hybrid offering, acknowledging the times we where in by incorporating two days of virtual presentations and three days of in-person presentations for greater audience engagement and content accessibility.

Our virtual platform and Congress App included live polling and live streaming that provided more information to delegates that in previous IAP Congresses.

Our invited speakers and presentation material kept our audience fully engaged, with the IAP 2022 Program including more than 300 invited Pathologists from across the globe, covering 25 themes. Without such active participation and high quality presentations the Congress would never have successed.

Feedback from the Congress survey showed IAP 2022 was a resounding success and we are enormously proud of our profession in welcoming pathologists and industry, who came together to help advance the specialisation in Australia and beyond.

In particular we want to acknowledge the local Host Organisation, the Australasian Division of the IAP, who were instrumental in consultation with IAP Central in providing planning and program assistance.

A Special thank you to our convenors for their careful planning of the program and for volunteering their personal time and expertise to bring IAP 2022 to life.

THANK YOU for your excellence in joining us at the IAP 2022 in Sydney.

All the best for 2023!

Sydney to host the next IAP in 2022

In October 2022 the Australasian Division invites the world to experience the latest developments in pathology by hosting the XXXIV International Congress of the International Academy of Pathology.

The Local Organising Committee has already secured world-class speakers and is planning for a memorable experience in Sydney. Be sure to save the dates of 11-15 October 2022 where it is expected that the largest gathering of pathologists will share science and be provided an unparalleled opportunity to engage informally with each other. The local hosts will also showcase the beauty of Sydney and Australia and display Australian hospitality at its best.

This Congress is sure to be a must-attend event for all.
