The ASCIA 2021 Conference was a highy successful virtual event, which was held from Wednesday 1st to Friday 3rd September 2021. Whilst we would have preferred to have been together in person, our decision to host a Virtual Conference provided some much-needed certainty and change of routine during challenging times.

The ASCIA 2021 Virtual Conference was the largest ASCIA Conference to date, with almost 700 registered delegates. We are proud of what was achieved and we received very positive feedback about the content and platform from delegates and sponsors.

The Conference provided an international standard of CPD/CME for delegates, with 58 speakers in the main program, including 12 international experts, 71 poster presentations, 19 clinical grand rounds (CGR) presentations, 31 speakers in 17 sponsored sessions, and specific programs for Nurses, Dietitians and Associate Medical Days on the Friday. 

A total of 30 prizes of $500 each were awarded for ASCIA 2021 Conference CGR and Poster presentations. The standard of presentations was high and the scores were close. 

We look forward to seeing you at the ASCIA 2022 Hybrid Conference, which will be held as  hybrid event from Tuesday 30th August to Friday 2nd September 2022.

Kind regards,

Prof Michaela Lucas         Jill Smith
