A WARM WELCOME

FROM OUR ASM 2022 CO-CONVENORS

On behalf of the local organising committee, we would like to invite everyone to the ANZCHOG Annual Scientific Meeting in Sydney on 28 – 30 July 2022.

After two years of virtual meetings and collaboration, we are excited to be hosting the event that will bring all of our colleagues from Australia and New Zealand back together in person. The 2022 ASM will feature a range of national and international experts across all disciplines of paediatric oncology and haematology, coming together to share their knowledge and experience. There will be many educational opportunities with plenary sessions, special interest groups, and interactive discussions, along with a range of networking opportunities to catch up with colleagues.

We hope to see you there!
