You're invited to
You’re invited to New Zealand’s annual lab sector forum for leaders
Co:Lab is New Zealand’s annual forum for the laboratory sector, bringing together leaders, innovators, clinicians, and industry partners to explore the future of pathology and healthcare.
Each year the event attracts decision-makers and influencers from across the laboratory ecosystem, creating a unique environment where ideas are shared and collaborations are formed.
For suppliers and industry partners, Co:Lab offers an opportunity to be part of these conversations. By sponsoring the event, your organisation can connect directly with the people driving change in New Zealand’s laboratory sector.
Following another sold-out year, Co:Lab 2026 returns bigger and better than ever, with new engagement opportunities, and new ways for sponsors to interact with attendees.
Our sponsorship packages are designed to provide meaningful brand exposure, opportunities for engagement, and the ability to align your organisation with the ideas and innovations shaping the future of pathology.
Co:Lab is proudly hosted by Awanui, New Zealand’s leading provider of laboratory and pathology services.
Programme of events
Our programme offers ample opportunity to join and connect with the sector’s leaders and decision makers at this annual event. Your brand will be exposed to a national audience with interest in the New Zealand laboratory and health sector.
