We are pleased to advise that registrations for the ANZSOM Annual Scientific Meeting are now open - click here for more details.
Like many organisations, we have opted for the relative certainty of an online format so that we can continue to meet the networking and educational needs of our members in these challenging times. And, while we'll all miss our familiar format and the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of Launceston, we'll be bringing you some exciting new experiences.
The meeting will take place across the original four days - Thursday 19th to Sunday 22nd November. Launceston will also remain our geographic focus and will be the location of 'ASM2020 Central'. So, keep these dates clear and register now!
