We are also intending to host sponsored hybrid dinner meetings in each region (restrictions permitting) on the Thursday evening, in conjunction with the ASCIA 2021 Conference. These dinners will be coordinated by the ASCIA Council Area Representatives for each region.

The ASCIA 2021 Conference will continue to provide an international standard of continuing professional development (CPD). It is also a unique opportunity to interact with ASCIA members and other health professionals working in allergy and clinical immunology.

In 2022 the ASCIA Conference will be held as a hybrid event in Melbourne from Wednesday 31st August to Friday 2nd September, so please note these dates in your 2022 calendar. 

We look forward to your involvement in the ASCIA 2021 Conference.
