Organized by Aperio Technologies
Aperio is digitizing pathology. We provide systems and services for digital pathology, a digital environment for the management and interpretation of pathology information that originates with the digitization of a glass slide.

Aperio systems facilitate histopathology management & tissue-based image analysis for drug discovery research, medical device research, preclinical GLP studies, clinical trials, academic biomedical and basic research, hospitals, and medical reference labs.
