On the Edge: Translating Innovation into Action
We are thrilled to invite you to the ANZGOG 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting on the Gold Coast, Queensland from Wednesday 25th – Friday 27th of March 2026.
Building on the momentum and near-record attendance of our landmark 25th Anniversary in 2025, where we reflected on all we have achieved, the 2026 ASM invites us to shift our focus forward. It’s a call to action: to ask what’s next, to push boundaries, and to translate today’s innovation into the impact of tomorrow.
The 2026 ASM will be a dynamic forum for bold thinking, practical collaboration, and action-oriented discussion about the future of gynaecological cancer research.
We are at a pivotal point. Advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping every aspect of oncology. The urgent need for pragmatic trials is more apparent than ever, particularly for our rarer tumour types. Evolving molecular insights are transforming diagnostics and treatment. And critically, the lived experience of survivors continues to guide and enrich the research landscape. This is a time for collective action—and ANZGOG’s 2026 ASM is where these essential conversations will take place.
ANZGOG’s Annual Scientific Meeting brings together national and international experts in gynaecological medicine, radiation and surgical oncology, pathology, basic scientists, translational and quality of life researchers, study coordinators and nurses, as well as our partners in the pharmaceutical industry.
In 2026 we are thrilled to have three international keynote speakers joining us
Gynaecological Oncologist (Medical Oncology Keynote): Dr Kathleen Moore, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma, USA
Radiation Oncologist: Dr William Small, Loyola University Chicago, USA
Gynaecological Oncologist: Professor Woo Yin Ling, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The Pure Science Symposium remains a highlight of the Annual Scientific Meeting, showcasing the innovative research and exceptional work being done in the pre-clinical and translational space. Delegates will also have the opportunity to participate in the radiation oncology, pragmatic trials, nursing and study coordinator workshops.
The Annual Scientific Meeting provides us all with educational moments, professional development time, and unparallelled networking opportunities between members and industry personnel. The ANZGOG Scientific Meeting Program Committee, including Deputy Chair A/Prof Kate Webber, are a diverse group of ANZGOG members from across Australia and New Zealand, and look forward very much to seeing you on the Gold Coast in 2026.
Kind regards
