2026 SA ACE Conference "Spring into CPD"
Join us for the 2026 SA ACE Conference ‘Spring into CPD’ this spring for an engaging professional development event.
Held at the Amora (formerly the Hilton Adelaide), this conference is designed to fulfil ANZCA CPD requirements while offering an enriching, hands-on learning experience. Delegates will benefit from a comprehensive program, including:
- Three keynote presentations from respected experts (Category 2 CPD).
- An M&M session (Category 1 CPD).
- A range of interactive workshops (Category 3 CPD).
Among the workshops, we’re excited to offer a specialised session on gastric ultrasound, providing a unique, practical opportunity to enhance your skills in this vital area of anaesthesia.
Whether you're looking to sharpen your technique in regional ultrasound or deepen your expertise in emergency response, there’s something for everyone. This event not only meets your CPD needs but also fosters valuable networking opportunities with peers and speakers alike.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to advance your practice and connect with the anaesthesia community.
