Conference and Events Subcommittee

The Conference and Events sub-committee oversee PSANZ’s strategic approach to its annual congress and other initiatives such as the Geoffrey Thorburn Visiting lectureship and meetings, workshops and conferences of PSANZ’s other subcommittees.

The Annual Congress is a multidisciplinary perinatal meeting that is the largest in Oceania, encompassing the breadth of activities undertaken by members of PSANZ, from discovery science through clinical and epidemiological studies to translation into practice and the community. The main congress is flanked by satellite meetings of other subcommittees of PSANZ and often is aligned with meetings of other societies with which PSANZ shares interests. PSANZ welcomes interest from members who would like to be involved in Conference Organising Committees (COC) for PSANZ congresses. Please contact the Secretariat at admin@psanz.com.au.

Details of the Geoffrey Thorburn Visiting Lectureship can be found here.

Members planning to host meetings relevant to the goals of PSANZ for which they may like to seek support or endorsement from PSANZ should contact the Conference and Events sub-committee via the Secretariat.
