Invitation


Tena koutou,

Greetings,
It is with great pleasure and excitement that we invite you to the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons (ANZSCTS) meeting for 2023 to be held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand from 9 – 11 November 2023.

We are formulating an engaging program that will encompass a range of current topics in Cardiothoracic Surgery with interactive workshops to cater for attendees at the early stages of their training and to those with a wealth of experience. There will be an ANZSCTS Trainees Day as well as a Nurse and Allied Health Education Day. International guest speakers as well as local faculty will be supporting these workshops.

A major feature of the meeting will include a trade and technical exhibition that will provide delegates with an opportunity to access relevant technological advances and innovation in our specialty.

Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) dubbed the “coolest little capital in the world” by Lonely Planet, is an energetic city with a  vibrant arts culture, excellent restaurants, boutique shopping and a stunning rugged coastline. With our meeting set in such an atmosphere, there will be great opportunities for professional and personal networking and the exchange of ideas between delegates, sponsors and exhibitors, as well as an opportunity to explore the region.

On behalf of ANZSCTS and our colleagues, we invite you to join us at the ANZSCTS Annual Scientific Meeting 2023.

We look forward to seeing you in Wellington.
