Message from the 2027 USANZ ASM Convenor
On behalf of the organising committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to the USANZ 2027 Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held in Brisbane from February 27 to March 2, 2027.
Together with the ASM Scientific Committee Chair Dr Lih-Ming Wong, ANZUNS Convenor Leanne Morton, and ANZUNS Scientific Program Chair Michelle Roberts, we are assembling a forward-looking and highly relevant scientific program that reflects the evolving landscape of urology. Our focus will be firmly on innovation and what lies ahead—spanning oncology, robotics, artificial intelligence, registries, reconstruction, functional urology, and andrology—delivered by a strong international and regional faculty.
We are pleased to confirm an outstanding group of international speakers including Jean-Christophe Bernhard (Bordeaux), Alexandre Zlotta (Toronto), Marjan Waterloos (Ghent), Henriette Veiby Holm (Oslo), and Kathleen Hwang (Philadelphia), alongside leading experts from Australia and New Zealand. Together, they will contribute to a dynamic program centred on cutting-edge developments and future directions in urological care.
The meeting will take place at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, located in South Bank—one of Australia’s most vibrant and accessible precincts. Brisbane offers a compelling combination of warm, reliable weather, a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere, and an increasingly recognised dining and nightlife scene. The city is modern, outward-looking, and rapidly evolving in the lead-up to hosting the 2032 Olympic Games.
For those travelling with family, Brisbane stands out as one of Australia’s most family-friendly destinations. South Bank itself offers parklands, riverfront dining, and cultural attractions, all within walking distance of the meeting venue. Beyond the city, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast provide world-class beaches, while the nearby hinterland regions offer exceptional opportunities for hiking, nature, and short escapes. This makes the ASM an ideal opportunity to combine professional development with a broader Queensland holiday.
We strongly encourage you to consider extending your stay and making the most of what this region has to offer.
We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane for what promises to be an engaging, progressive, and memorable meeting.
