Welcome to the ANN Congress 2027

On behalf of the Australasian Neuromuscular Network (ANN), we are delighted to invite you to attend the ANN Congress 2027, taking place from 9-12 March 2027 at the new Nyaal Banyul Geelong Convention and Event Centre, Geelong, Victoria.

ANN Congress 2027 will bring together clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals, industry partners, patient organisations, and community representatives from across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond to share knowledge, strengthen collaborations, and advance care for people living with

neuromuscular conditions.

The Congress program will showcase the latest developments in neuromuscular research, emerging therapies, clinical practice, rehabilitation, and patient-centred care. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with leading national and international experts while exploring innovations that are shaping the future of the field.

A key feature of the 2027 Congress will be the introduction of a dedicated Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Day, providing a focused forum for researchers, healthcare professionals, consumers, families, and industry partners to connect, learn, and collaborate. This dedicated program reflects the rapid advancements and growing interest in SMA research, treatment, and care.

Set against the stunning waterfront backdrop of Geelong and hosted in Victoria's newest convention centre, ANN Congress 2027 will offer a dynamic environment for learning, networking, and collaboration. Whether you are a long-standing ANN member or attending for the first time, we invite you to join us for four inspiring days of education, discussion, and connection.

We look forward to welcoming you to Geelong in March 2027.

Warm regards

Ian Woodcock

Congress Convenor
