    ASCIA 2011

    The 22nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology & Allergy (ASCIA) was held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, from 6-10 September 2011.
     

    Thank you to all speakers and chairs, committee members, delegates, sponsors and exhibitors for their support of ASCIA 2011. In particular we would like to thank our international speakers, Professor Abul Abbas (USA), Dr Domingo Barber (Spain), Professor Pascal Demoly (France), Dr George Du Toit (UK), Professor Gunnar Johansson (Sweden), Dr Montserrat Fernandez-Rivas (Spain), Dr Steven Holland (USA), Dr Marc Riedl (USA) and Professor Yehuda Shoenfeld (Israel).  

    The ASCIA 2011 scientific program included a record number of 9 international speakers, more than 40 Australasian speakers and chairs, 75 posters and 9 Clinical Grand Round (CGR) presentations. All ASCIA 2011 poster and CGR abstracts have been published in the online Internal Medicine Journal (IMJ) and these can be accessed via the ASCIA webpage www.allergy.org.au/content/view/363/324/.

    Congratulations to the poster and CGR award winners, who are listed on the ASCIA website www.allergy.org.au/content/view/18/265/  Thank you to all the sponsors of these awards and to MSD for supporting the 10 travel scholarships for advanced trainees. 

    For the first time in Australasia, a postgraduate immunology course was held as part of the meeting, expertly run by Professor Abul Abbas, who is the current President of the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS).  This course was very popular, with 82 delegates participating on the Saturday, after attending the 3 day ASCIA Annual Scientific Meeting. 

    ASCIA 2011 included social functions on each evening from Tuesday to Friday.  One of the highlights was the outstanding performance at the ASCIA 2011 Welcome Function by The Ultrasounds, the choir of the School of Medicine at the University of Western Sydney.  Another highlight was the presentation Medicine and the Media by Dr John D'Arcy at the ASCIA 2011 Gala Dinner, held at the spectacular National Maritime Museum.  

    ASCIA members can view the ASCIA 2011 photographs, expertly taken by Dr John Tan at www.allergy.org.au/content/view/406/373/ (login is required).

    We look forward to seeing you at ASCIA 2012, in New Zealand next September.
