Invitation to Attend
On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology’s President Professor Paolo Ferrari, the Scientific Program and Education Committee and the Local Organising Committee, we invite you to the 53rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology, to be held from 4th to 6th September 2017 in Darwin.
The Scientific Program and Education Committee, chaired by Professor Francesco Ierino, has already started planning a first-rate program, around the theme “Equity and Diversity”. Expert international and national speakers will bring you the very latest advances and contemporary summaries in nephrological science and clinical care. As is now customary, this will be complemented by the pre-meeting ANZSN Update Course and the ANZSIN meeting afterwards.
Darwin is an exciting destination with much more to offer than just the headlines. We’re confident you’ll find your visit to Darwin memorable and enjoyable, both scientifically and socially: a warm (though not hot in early September) welcome is guaranteed! Even though the Meeting is some time away and we’ll be providing regular updates, please mark it in your calendar now.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Paul Lawton & Dr. William Majoni
Co-Chairs, Local Organising Committee

Butterfly Gorge is a tranquil paradise tucked at the base of a low sandstone plateau. The Gorge is home to a large number of common crow butterflies 🦋 and is part of the Douglas River.
It's also one of the Top EndNT's magical wonders accessible in our Dry Season (May-September)
