AGES Annual Scientific Meeting 2022

The AGES 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting was held in Melbourne, Australia.  We could not think of a better place to host the AGES 2022 ASM than Melbourne, given the severe impact of COVID-19 on this proud city. This city has withstood and conquered multiple COVID-19 outbreaks, despite the profound challenges, by harnessing the strength and courage within its own community.

The 2022 ASM theme “Onwards and Upwards” is very apt in the current climate, we focused 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.  The AGES 2022 ASM offered the best of live surgery, core-learning sessions, surgical videos, and panel discussions presented by outstanding international and local guest speakers.
