Jointly hosted by the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA) and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA)
We are excited to invite you to register for Australasia's premier anaesthesia conference for 2022! Register by 12 August to enjoy our special early bird registration rate.
It is a great pleasure and honour to welcome you as the Co-convenors of the Combined Scientific Congress (CSC), jointly hosted by the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists and the Australian Society of Anaesthetists to be held in Wellington (and virtually) in October. This meeting was last held in New Zealand in 2008 and was very successful.
This year’s Combined Scientific Congress will be interesting, stimulating and challenging and will be delivered in a hybrid format that enables both face to face and virtual engagement by attendees.
The Congress will be held in Wellington, the ‘coolest little capital in the world.' Our harbour city has a vibrant arts and culture scene, is at the heart of government and decision makers, yet allows escape to the hills with a skip and a jump, or a few turns of the pedals.
The 2022 CSC will be held across two venues: the TSB Arena and the Intercontinental Hotel. The TSB Arena has a large area ideally suited to the trade exhibition, adjacent to the main Congress session rooms. The Intercontinental will host the workshops and small group sessions.
We expect about 600 delegates (in person or virtual) with a significant number of weekend registrants.
We have an exciting panel of keynote speakers from Canada, the UK, the US and Australia:
Our CSC website has all the information you need, including the scientific and social programmes, and a comprehensive FAQ section. You can also find out how to participate as an exhibitor or sponsor – an outstanding opportunity to promote your products and services. The scientific programme will run over three and a half days from Friday 21 October to Monday 24 October with the trade exhibition running for the first three days only.
The social programme will include the not to be missed signature gala dinner event on the Saturday night. The exhibitor’s reception will be onsite on the Friday evening and there will be a family event on the Sunday night.
We encourage you to register for our Congress to support this excellent educational event and to enjoy connecting with colleagues and industry after a challenging last couple of years. See you in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington or online!
Ngā mihi nui,
