NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facing shifting regulatory updates, intensifying payer scrutiny, and workforce shortages, clinical laboratory and pathology practice leaders will convene for the 32nd Executive War College on Diagnostics, Clinical Laboratory and Pathology Management at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, April 26-28, 2027.
More than 1,100 laboratory leaders will gather for this two-day event designed to provide clinical labs with the practical management insights needed to thrive in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
Focus on Practical Case Studies
The Executive war College agenda will again focus on real-world case studies and operational blueprints. The conference podiums will feature more than 146 clinical laboratory and pathology subject matter experts.
In 2027, the program expands its focus to address the structural transformations reshaping healthcare, and will focus on the following themes:
- Laboratory Operations: Practical workflow optimization and operational innovation.
- Automation, AI & Digital Pathology: Moving past the hype with scalable digital workflows.

"We are designing this agenda to directly address the operational headaches that keep clinical lab executives up at night," says Ashleigh Harris, EWC Conference Producer. "Every session is curated using a specific formula: how a peer lab executed a change, the immediate steps they took and the exact clinical or financial impact on their business. If a trend affects your bottom line, it is on our stage."
