API’s 2026 fall meeting celebrates its 10th year and a new name! "Inside the Digital Lab" (IDL) (f/k/a Digital Pathology-AI (DP-AI) Workshop) offers a "look under the hood" at host institutions that have successfully adapted and implemented the latest technologies, AI, and workflow approaches in creative ways. IDL is a roving meeting that features on-site laboratory tours in tandem with site-relevant, tailor-made programming not replicated elsewhere.
We are excited to announce this year’s meeting will feature Michigan Medicine in Ann Arbor, Michigan. IDL will showcase Michigan Medicine and its successful journey to achieve comprehensive digital workflow for primary diagnosis in Anatomic Pathology. This hands-on learning experience includes sandbox opportunities with partnering vendors as well as presentations on comparative use cases that help to formulate innovative idea exchanges and uncover possibilities for health systems across the world.
Laboratory Tours will be at the University of Michigan, North Campus Research Complex, Ann Arbor, MI. Sessions will be at The Vanguard Hotel, Ann Arbor, MI:
From Glass to Pixels: Inside Michigan Medicine's Digital Pathology Lab Follow a specimen from the grossing bench to the pathologist's screen, then try signing out a case yourself.
- Follow a specimen's journey. Trace every step of Michigan's end-to-end workflow: grossing, specimen collection, staining and slide preparation, high-resolution digitization, and distribution. Watch a single tissue sample become a digital case ready for diagnosis.
- Behind every slide, a skilled technician. Watch our technicians at work up close. You'll see the precision and craft that happen long before a slide reaches a screen.
- Step into a fully digital reading room. Explore all-digital viewing stations adapted to 10 different subspecialties. Each one is configured around how that specialty reads its cases.
- Take the controls. Sit down at a live digital workstation with full sign-out capability. Navigate whole-slide images and zoom from tissue overview down to cellular detail, the same way Michigan pathologists work every day.
THEMES:
Session 1: Developing scalable deployment of IMS and AI-driven pathology in enterprise environments
Session 2: Lifecycle management for digital pathology systems: Futureproofing the lab and establishing institutional significance
Session 3: Hype, Hope, Horror and the Here and Now: Exploring the promise of Agentic AI within the lab
