We'd love for everyone to join us at the historic Mortlock Library to celebrate ANZDATA's 50th. Dinner tickets can be added during the registration process. The evening will be a black-and-gold gala celebration, and we encourage guests to embrace the theme by wearing black and/or gold. Formal attire is requested for the occasion if possible.

Will sessions be recorded or livestreamed?

What is ANZDATA trivia? Do I need to prepare?

Just a fun celebration of 50 years of data, no prep required. Bring your ANZDATA (or kidney, or data) knowledge, and a good sense of humour.
