Medical conferences in Australia and New Zealand

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many medical conferences have been cancelled, postponed, or held in a virtual capacity. In 2022, we've seen a return to in-person events and hybrid conferences that are both online and in-person.

Medical conferences function as great social events for doctors, whether that be in the form of a virtual event or in person. Now that the Covid-19 restrictions have eased we are seeing more and more of these events return to convention centres and exhibition halls around Australasia.

While networking and information sharing in the healthcare space has changed over the past few years, we're increasingly returning to normality. Here are some of the events you can attend, offering network opportunities, in the second half of 2022 and into 2023.
