ANZAN Annual Scientific Meeting 2026

The Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists (ANZAN) Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 will take place from 23–26 June 2026 at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney. This flagship event is the premier gathering for neurologists, neuroscientists, researchers, and allied health professionals across Australasia.

Following the successful 75th anniversary celebration in Brisbane, ANZAN returns to Sydney after seven years, promising a dynamic program that blends cutting-edge science with professional networking. The meeting is chaired by Judy Spies and Mark Parsons, with oversight from the ANZAN Council and President Michelle Kiley.

The ASM will feature keynote lectures from internationally renowned guest speakers, symposia covering diverse neurological subspecialties, and abstract presentations showcasing the latest research. Topics will span stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, movement disorders, neuroimmunology, and emerging therapies. The program is designed to appeal to clinicians, researchers, trainees, and students, ensuring broad engagement across the neurology community.

Beyond the scientific sessions, the ASM fosters collaboration and collegiality. Attendees will have opportunities to network, reconnect with colleagues, and build new professional relationships. The venue at Darling Harbour offers state-of-the-art facilities, complemented by Sydney’s vibrant cultural and scenic backdrop. Social events, gala dinners, and informal gatherings will enrich the experience, making the ASM both academically rigorous and socially rewarding.

Important dates include abstract submissions (open mid-November 2025, closing 2 March 2026), author notifications (mid-April 2026), and registration opening in early March 2026. Accommodation and travel information are provided via the ASM website, with ICC Sydney offering convenient access from the airport and extensive transport options.

The ANZAN ASM 2026 is more than a conference—it is a celebration of neurology, a platform for advancing knowledge, and a hub for strengthening professional ties across Australia and New Zealand.
