It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2024 USANZ ASM to be held in Adelaide, Australia on Feb 24-27 2024.

Along with Dixon Woon, the 2024 ASM Scientific Committee Chair, and the ANZUNS organising committee of Kerry Santoro (ANZUNS Meeting Convenor) and Natalie Parker (ANZUNS Meeting Scientific Program Chair), we look forward to delivering a contemporary program in the vibrant capital of South Australia.

A selection of internationally renowned speakers from around the world is being assembled to interact with our local community in Australia and New Zealand, to update our delegates on cutting edge standards of care, clinical and scientific research, and horizons in surgical techniques.

Adelaide is recognised as one of Australia’s secrets, with so much to offer to business and leisure travellers. One of the highlights is of course, the Adelaide Fringe festival, one of the world’s largest performing arts festivals held in February/ March annually. It is well known that South Australia is home to many world class wine regions, but a burgeoning distillery scene is not to be forgotten. February is also an ideal time to visit other South Australian regions such as Kangaroo Island and the Eyre Peninsula. If you decide to spend a couple more days in Adelaide either before or after the ASM, you will be spoilt for choice with so many options of things to do in and around Adelaide.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide in February 2024.
