NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE, AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee and the ANZBMS Council, it is my pleasure to warmly invite you to join us in Auckland, New Zealand for the 36th ANZBMS Annual Scientific Meeting.
We are heading back across the Tasman Sea to the beautiful New Zealand for the 2026 meeting. Lead by President Elect, Associate Professor Christian Girgis, and Co-chairs Dr Melissa Cantley and Dr Michael Bennett, our Scientific Program Committee are shaping an exciting and comprehensive scientific program that spans basic, clinical and allied health research, with sessions designed to inspire learning, engage discussion, and showcase excellence across our musculoskeletal community. The meeting will also offer abundant opportunities to connect, whether you’re catching up with long-standing colleagues or building new collaborations.
Whether you are an early or mid‑career investigator, clinician, basic scientist, or allied health professional, we hope you’ll join us for a meeting that brings our community together, fosters meaningful exchange, and highlights the latest advances in musculoskeletal research.
Registration and abstract submissions will open soon—we look forward to welcoming you.
