ANZAOMS was delighted to see over 150 of our members in Singapore for ICOMS 2025. It was a huge contingent from Australia and New Zealand, and our region was very well represented throughout the scientific program.
ANZAOMS Guest Society Session
Day 3 saw a number of our members take to the podium for the official guest society session. A huge thank you to Dr Patrishia Bordbar and Dr John Harrison for their exceptional planning and chairing of the session and to our speakers, Dr Scott Borgna, Dr Seth Delpachitra, Dr Christian Freudslperger, Dr Nathan Vujcich and Dr Jasvir Singh. The session was extremely well attended, particularly by our members and thank you to all who made the effort to support our speakers.
