Are you a new fellow ready to take on a new challenge? Are you looking to build on your leadership capabilities? Applications for the 2026 ANZCA Emerging Leaders Conference (ELC) are now open.
Applications are now open for the 2026 Emerging Leaders Conference (ELC), taking place from 28-30 April 2026 at the picturesque Rydges Formosa, Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand, in conjunction with the ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).
The conference includes three days of interactive sessions and team building activities where delegates will mingle with like-minded peers and be introduced to college and industry leaders.
This year’s theme, “Te herenga matua – the pursuit of consciousness” invites emerging leaders onto a transformative journey of reflection and collaboration, which will inspire them to lead with consciousness and clarity as they navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
