That’s a wrap on our ANZSOM Annual Scientific Meeting 2025!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us in Melbourne – what an incredible few days of learning, networking, and connection. With over 180 in-person and 50 virtual delegates, 45 speakers and 20 sponsors and exhibitors, it was a fantastic event. Thanks to all our sponsors and partners, including Sonic HealthPlus (Platinum Sponsor) and AFOEM (Program Partner). Our Organising Committee continued their tireless work throughout the event as their months of planning came to fruition.  Thank you everyone!

We have now passed the baton to the SA/NT team for ASM2026 in Adelaide – mark your calendars for 25–28 October 2026. See you there!
