On behalf of Australian and New Zealand Society of Occupational Medicine and our scientific partner the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 ANZSOM Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place from 25–28 October 2026 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

This year’s theme, “Evidence & Experience in Occupational Medicine,” reflects our commitment to exploring both the latest research and the practical insights that shape our field.

The ASM provides a unique opportunity to engage with colleagues, share knowledge, and discuss current trends and challenges in occupational medicine. Our program will feature a diverse range of presentations, panel discussions, site visits and workshops led by leading experts, offering practical strategies and evidence-based approaches to enhance your practice.

Adelaide offers an accessible and vibrant setting for the conference, with the Convention Centre at the heart of the city and a rich array of cultural and social experiences to enjoy alongside the professional program. We encourage you to make the most of this opportunity to connect with peers and leaders in occupational medicine, and to explore all that Adelaide has to offer.

We are also grateful to our sponsors, whose support allows us to deliver a high-quality conference and foster meaningful connections across the industry. For organisations considering sponsorship, we offer a range of opportunities to engage with decision-makers in occupational health.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide for an informative, engaging, and inspiring ASM.
