2024 UGSA ASM in our host city - BRISBANE
With this year’s theme of ‘Building Bridges – Supporting Patients and Each Other’, we explore a renewed focus on research and innovation, while taking time to discuss the importance of patient-centric care; as well as the personal and professional challenges faced in urogynaecology.
We are also proud to announce two international keynote speakers as part of this year’s event: Dr Aparna Hegde, who has been lauded the maternal health champion among Fortune’s 50 greatest global leaders of 2020, as well as Professor Bruno Deval - a key opinion leader in female pelvic floor disorders and laparoscopic surgery - with a large global network, he is consulted frequently by major specialty societies, surgical technology development teams and the media for his insights and experience.
Scheduled to be held from the 18-21 September 2024, this year’s event will provide delegates the opportunity to interact with colleagues, international keynote speakers and industry intimately during both pre-meeting workshops and plenary conference at the W Brisbane - at a world class venue. Delegates will also be delighted to experience our ever fabulous gala dinner at The Callile - named The Best Hotel in Oceania for 2023, and came in at number 12 on The World's 50 Best Hotels, making it the only property from Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands to make the presitigious list.
So mark your calendars, and save these dates for the premier urogynaecological event in 2024.
