2023 Annual Scientific Meeting and Annual General Meeting

Welcome

Tēnā koutou katoa

On behalf of the organising committee, it is my pleasure to announce registrations are now open for the Annual Scientific Meeting in Wellington, New Zealand beginning at 3pm on Thursday 4 May and finishing at 1pm on Saturday 6 May. Please follow the link to the conference website where you will find all details including a draft programme:

Registrations are also now open for the Special Interest Days for Diabetes Nurses, Diabetes Registrars, Podiatrists and the Clinical Network for Children and Youth on the morning of May 4th. Primary Care Clinicians will have a meeting on the afternoon of Saturday 6 May after the conclusion of the ASM. For all SIG groups you will additionally be able to attend the ASM session for the day that you are meeting as part of your SIG Day registration.

The NZSSD Executive is also delighted to offer travel grants to provide further assistance to attend the ASM to those members who do not have dedicated CME funds (if applying you will be asked to declare this). You must be a member of NZSSD for at least one year to apply and we strongly encourage you to do so. Applications for this will close with the early-bird closing date.

Please note that both the ASM and SIG meetings will be face-to-face events. Hosting a hybrid meeting with a dedicated platform does significantly increase the registration fee and so 2023 will be an in-person only event with no virtual attendance option.

And a reminder that the call for abstracts is also open and we look forward to receiving your submissions. This is also done via the conference website.

We look forward to seeing you in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington next May.
