We are excited to invite you to the 2025 CAMP Conference celebrating its 10th anniversary. Join us for this milestone at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, on April 4–5, 2025.
This year, we are proud to offer an engaging hybrid program, featuring internationally and nationally renowned speakers from Canada, the USA, and Europe. Our esteemed presenters include Dr. Abbas Agaimy, Dr. Doru Andea, Dr. Stephen Yip, Dr. Pierre Fiset, Dr. Jinesa Moodley (Pathologists), Dr. Alex Wyatt (Scientist) and Dr. Barbara Melosky and Dr. Christine Simmons (Medical Oncologists).
Pathology continues to evolve in the age of targeted therapies, digitalization, and artificial intelligence and this year’s theme—C-A-M-P—captures the essence of what pathology is becoming. CAMP Conference provides a unique platform for pathologists, laboratory scientists, and medical oncologists to discuss cutting-edge developments presented in a case-based format, sparking debates, and thought-provoking lectures inspiring meaningful change in your practice. Our decade proven networking opportunities remain pivotal to our vision and will enchant you with old fashion mindfulness, hugs, and handshakes.
We hope to see you there!
