2026 ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM)
Join us in Auckland from 1-5 May for the 2026 ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting.
Tēnā koutou katoa/Greetings to you all,
On behalf of the national organising committee, we warmly invite you to join us at the 2026 ANZCA ASM, in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand.
The theme of the meeting is “Herenga Waka Herenga Tāngata: From home to home”, representing the journey of anaesthesia – from the decision to undergo surgery through to recovery and the patient returning home – as well as the parallel of the anaesthetists’ journey and their professional wellbeing.
The college worked with designer, Chloē Reweti (Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Porou), and cultural advisor, Tui Blair (Ngāti Whātua), to settle on the 2026 theme and design, which reflect Aotearoa New Zealand’s natural environment and its cultural significance for Māori.
The meeting will be held at the newly built New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC). NZICC is situated in the heart of Auckland’s business district and features innovative sustainability initiatives and modern open design spaces.
Amazing social events at some spectacular venues will offer views of pristine oceans and sprawling mountains – just a glimpse of New Zealand’s many natural wonders and sites to visit.
Join us in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau for learning, networking and connection. We look forward to welcoming you!
Dr Kerry Benson-Cooper
2026 ANZCA ASM Convenor
