Thank you for being part of the Exchange of Experience conference 2025, hosted by BioImaging North America and Canada BioImaging! This year’s event focused on sustaining imaging infrastructures, networks, and facilities, and set the stage for the BINA Community Congress, which highlighted advanced imaging technologies. These back-to-back events brought the global imaging community together to shape the future of imaging science and technology, as we considered where Imaging will be in 10 years. GBIxBINA2025 combined the strengths of Global BioImaging (GBI) and BioImaging North America (BINA) to explore cutting-edge advancements and strategic visions for the sustainable development of imaging infrastructures.

This year's EoE2025 brought together 393 participants from 48 countries, with 162 attending in person.

The diversity of the EoE2025 attendees is evident in the breakdown of professional roles below. Participants ranged from imaging core facility staff to industry professionals, researchers, infrastructure and management personnel, as well as policy and funding representatives.

The geographical heat map below showcases the global reach of EoE2025 participants. The map highlights a notable concentration of attendees from North America, a direct result of the conference’s location in Montreal, Canada. The map also reinforces the truly international nature of the event, connecting experts and stakeholders across continents to foster collaboration and innovation in bioimaging and biomedical research.

We highly encourage all in person attendees to stay at the conference venue to make the most of networking and informal connections that happen beyond the official program.
