As another extraordinary ANZGOG Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect not only on the science, collaboration and shared purpose that define this event, but on the people who make it all possible.

Delivering an ASM of this calibre takes vision, commitment and an enormous collective effort. This year’s meeting was no exception.

Our sincere thanks go to Associate Professor Emma Allanson (ASM Chair) and Associate Professor Kate Webber (Deputy Chair) for their outstanding leadership. Their dedication, alongside the entire ASM Program Steering Committee, ensured a program that was thoughtful, rigorous, and deeply engaging. Bringing together a large-scale event of this complexity is no small feat, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and precision that underpinned every detail.

We also extend our appreciation to every member of the ANZGOG 2026 ASM Program Steering Committee, whose expertise and collaboration were instrumental in shaping this year’s meeting:

A special acknowledgement to Dr Nicola Meagher, Dr Holly Barker and Associate Professor Tracy O’Mara for their leadership of the Pure Science Symposium. Alongside all participants, their work continues to strengthen the scientific foundations of our community, ensuring they remain innovative, robust, and inspiring.

Thank you to all sponsors and exhibitors for your support of the ASM, including AbbVie, AstraZeneca, GSK, Lifestrands Therapeutics, MSD, Pfizer, Pharma Engine, Amplia Therapeutics, Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA), The National Gynae-Oncology Registry (NGOR), Besins, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Illumina, V.supple and ProSeek Bio.

To all speakers, chairs, presenters and attendees—thank you. Your willingness to share knowledge, challenge thinking and collaboration is what makes the ASM such a powerful and meaningful forum.

And finally, to the many contributors working behind the scenes, from organisers to partners and supporters, all your efforts are deeply appreciated. It is your collective commitment that creates an environment where connection, learning, and progress can truly thrive.

Together, you have made the 2026 ASM not only a success, but a memorable and inspiring milestone for our community. Planning is already underway for the 2027 ASM which is set to be bigger and even better… watch this space.

Thank you.
