Mark your calendars for the 93rd RACS Annual Scientific Congress (ASC) 2025, which will take place from Saturday 3 to Tuesday 6 May at the International Convention Centre in Sydney (ICC, Sydney).

This prestigious event promises a meeting of brilliant minds, fostering an environment where innovation, collaboration, and scientific excellence flourish—all set against the backdrop of the stunning Sydney Harbour.

The theme, Innovation, Precision, Excellence, sets the stage for an engaging and insightful program that will push the boundaries of surgical knowledge. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from distinguished experts across various surgical disciplines, each sharing their latest research and groundbreaking insights. The program will cover a diverse range of topics, including minimally invasive techniques and cutting-edge surgery—ensuring relevance for surgeons and their teams across multiple specialties.

In a notable shift, the ASC 2025 will be held over a weekend for the first time, featuring a format designed to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration. This approach will offer combined sessions that bridge various fields—providing a more integrated experience for all participants.  

A highlight of the 2025 ASC will be the involvement of Dr. Glaucomflecken, a renowned American ophthalmic surgeon, comedian, and speaker. His unique perspective, derived from both his professional achievements and personal experiences as a patient, promises to captivate and inspire.

This is your opportunity to submit an abstract and share the work and research you have been doing.

Beyond the opportunity for learning and collaborating, the ASC offers opportunities for networking and reconnecting with peers.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney in May 2025.
