In March 2025, Integral Diagnostics (IDX) hosted its inaugural IDX25 Conference at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre, located within Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort. The event brought together more than 225 professionals from across Australia and New Zealand under the theme “Together Towards Tomorrow.” With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and strategic direction, IDX25 united team members and key industry suppliers to explore the future of radiology and medical imaging.
Set against the natural beauty of the Sunshine Coast, the conference venue offered a seamless blend of function and atmosphere. With a variety of indoor and outdoor event spaces, the resort created a dynamic backdrop for connection, celebration, and forward thinking.
