Welcome to Brisbane and the 2026 ANZSO Conference, to be held August 18-21. Welcome back to those who participated in the 2016 (then) SSA annual scientific meeting held at the same venue.

We will be holding our conference at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC), in the heart of Brisbane. We will cater all involved in the field of stroke in Australia and New Zealand including clinicians, researchers, consumers and industry. All will be welcome to participate in our various activities including workshops, plenary and platform presentations and poster sessions.

The BCEC is in Brisbane’s South Bank region, adjacent to the Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art, the Queensland Museum and the Queensland Performing Arts Complex. New footbridges connect the region to the CBD for more entertainment options to keep you busy before and after the conference.

Please mark the dates in your diary and join us in Brisbane in August 2026.

Andrew Wong (ANZSOC 2026 Convenor)
