Reimagining pathology:
Our role in the future of healthcare
At Co:Lab 2026, leaders from across the pathology laboratory sector, both from New Zealand and abroad, will explore how pathology can and must adapt and innovate to meet the future needs of healthcare.
From digital transformation and artificial intelligence to integrated care models and new service approaches, join us to reimagine what pathology can be, and the impact it can have on patients, clinicians, everyday consumers, and the wider health system.
Built for the people shaping the sector
Co:Lab is designed for:
- Laboratory and pathology leaders
- Healthcare professionals and clinicians
- Industry partners and sponsors
- Technology, data and innovation specialists
- Policy and system-level stakeholders
Whether you're shaping strategy, delivering care, building tools or supporting the system around it, Co:Lab offers space to connect, learn and look ahead.
What to expect at Co:Lab
Two content packed days which deliver:
- A curated speaker lineup with sector-relevant perspectives
- Focused plenary sessions exploring key challenges and opportunities
- Practical case studies and real-world examples
- Open discussion and peer exchange
- Networking events that foster relationships
The most impactful ideas happen when disciplines come together. CoLab creates space for cross-sector collaboration — connecting healthcare, research, technology and industry to solve problems differently.
What I valued the most was networking, engagement with peers and speakers to challenge my view points.
