AGES XXII Pelvic Floor Symposium 2022
2022-06-03 00:00 - 2022-06-04 23:59 (Australia/Brisbane) | Adelaide Convention Centre, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
Dear colleagues,

How can we reflect on the two years that have gone by since the advent of our global pandemic? It’s been a time we would rather forget, and yet it keeps rearing its ugly head and lashing its barbed tail again and again. Within Australia, our colleagues on the east coast have borne the brunt of the pandemic, however, it is worth remembering that, for the most part, we have been fortunate to be in Australia.

It’s time to reflect on the things that bring us together, and it’s in this spirit that we have launched the 2022 AGES Pelvic Floor meeting, crossing our fingers that we will all be able to meet in person and share things face to face. We will be focussing our minds on inclusion, healing, and recovery in all its varying colours and shades.

We will be talking about mesh (again!) and the alternatives, prolapse throughout the lifespan of a woman, discussing pain and sexual function. All this and so much more.

With the change of timing to June 3rd and 4th, we are in the process of finalising our international speakers and will get back to you as soon as possible with the confirmed list. Be assured that we will have some truly world-class speakers with relevance to the day-to-day practice of gynaecology.

Look forward to catching up and learning something along the way.

Kind Regards,

Emma ReadmanChair & AGES Board Member

Dear Colleagues,I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand, for the AGES 2022 Focus Meeting. Overseas travel has been a distant memory for many of us, but with the opening of the NZ borders, our Australian members can now travel abroad, spread our wings and be educated. We are looking forward to reconnecting with our New Zealand colleagues and sharing our combined knowledge. Pack your passport and your winter woollies!The theme, ‘Integration through Innovation’, has allowed us to curate a program with wide appeal to our membership; the local organising committee believe there is something for everyone in there. We will take you on a journey through the future of women’s health with a plenary session involving leaders in this field and further cover topics including surgical innovation through technology, midlife management, evidence-based pregnancy care, and the oncology biology. We will also have a session from the STAG simulation team, where players will pitch against each other to win a coveted title – all to be revealed later…. Our final session will be a series of puzzling cases and tales of the unexpected.So please join us for this exciting meeting…..

AGES XXXII Annual Scientific Meeting 2022
2022-11-03 00:00 - 2022-11-05 23:59 | Crown Promenade, Melbourne, 8 Whiteman St, Southbank, Melbourne, Victoria, 3006, Australia
We look forward to the AGES Annual Scientific Meeting 2022, as COVID-19 is being increasingly diminished from our day-to-day lives. This will be our time to reunite, reconnect and re-establish the impetus within us to march onwards and upwards towards enriching gynaecological care for the women of Australasia.

The AGES 2022 ASM theme “Onwards and Upwards” is very apt in the current climate, focusing on our determination and resilience to progress forward despite the complex challenges brought upon all of us over the last few years by COVID-19. AGES will continue to move onwards in the provision of ongoing education to our members on “core” surgical topics of relevance to trainees, generalist consultants, and advanced laparoscopists alike. As a dynamic society, we move upwards as we push past the boundaries with presentations on new developments and advanced surgical themes to equip you with the motivation, tools, and skills to aim for an accelerated post-pandemic recovery. As always, the AGES 2022 ASM will offer the best of live surgery, core-learning sessions, surgical videos, and panel discussions presented by outstanding international and local guest speakers.

We cannot think of a better place to host the AGES 2022 ASM than Melbourne, given the severe impact of COVID-19 on this proud city. Melbourne has withstood and conquered multiple COVID-19 outbreaks, despite the profound challenges, by harnessing the strength and courage within its own community.

The AGES board and local organising committee are delighted to invite you to the AGES 2022 ASM, ‘Onwards and Upwards’. For so many reasons, this will be an AGES ASM like no other!

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of AGES and AAGL we would like to welcome you to Bangkok. This is a landmark event for our society, being our affiliated AAGL meeting. We have forged a strong friendship with AAGL over the last few years and are excited to co-host this event. We have chosen the theme of “The Modern Muse” to fit in with this location and interests of our speakers and audience.

We have chosen Bangkok for its location being accessible to Australia, New Zealand, America and Asia. Bangkok is a vibrant city with huge diversity and culture. It offers the opportunity for safe post pandemic travel for our societies. It’s a city known for its food, people, culture and shopping!!

The two-day program has been written with similar diversity to appeal to the generalist and advanced laparoscopists alike. We will cover issues including transgender medicine, modern surgical techniques and Imaging techniques. Our speakers are a range of AAGL board members (Dr Andrew Sokol, current AAGL president, Dr Sony Singh, Dr Shailesh Puntambekar and Prof Sven Becker) as well as some well-known AGES speakers. We are also fortunate to have some fantastic local speakers bringing their expertise to the program. We are sure they will inspire and educate all. The program will be available on the conference website.

This will be the first meeting for the new AGES board. We welcome you to join with us and make this meeting a memorable occasion for all.

Dear colleagues, Welcome to Melbourne for a meeting that redefines the focus of our 3rd meeting for the year. COVID-19 brought about significant changes to the way we live, work, and interact with others, creating new challenges and stressors for people to navigate.  In the midst of the uncertainty, it also brought opportunities for growth and adaptation. Many people found new ways to connect with others, pursue hobbies and interests, and find meaning and purpose in their lives. But are you still a little lost? A little tired? A bit flat? The theme of “Striving to Thrive” aims to replenish a void you may have sensed within your professional and personal growth trajectory. This meeting will strive to cultivate resilience, creativity, surgical excellence and innovation, all important factors in promoting thriving. The two-day program has been written with similar diversity to appeal to the generalist and advanced laparoscopists. We will have sessions on pelvic floor and infertility and modern surgical techniques. We will diversify and update you on topics you had forgotten you had remembered. However, we will also be offering sessions that provoke you to review your clinical and business practice and your personal lives! We are fortunate to have some wonderful local speakers bringing their expertise to the program that will challenge, inspire and educate you.
