With great pleasure, we invite our colleagues and the ophthalmic industry throughout the world to Sydney for the 2011 Congress of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) hosted the highly-acclaimed International Congress of Ophthalmology (WOC) in Sydney in 2002. APAO 2011 will be just as memorable.
The meeting will be held in the popular Darling Harbour Convention and Exhibition Centre – just minutes from many of Sydney’s world-famous attractions.
The Scientific Program Committee, under Prof Charles McGhee, is assembling an exciting and stimulating scientific program, which will enable both comprehensive ophthalmologists and sub-specialists the opportunity to update their knowledge and skills.
The Congress already has strong support from the global ophthalmic industry, as well as from the professional associations of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology, the International Council of Ophthalmology, and RANZCO itself.
Australia and New Zealand have a long history of world-class expertise in clinical practice and ophthalmological research. This, combined with the warm and relaxed ‘Aussie’ spirit, will ensure your Congress experience is professionally enhancing and personally rejuvenating.
We look forward to sharing Sydney’s highlights with you. As one of the world’s most idyllic destinations, the harbour city provides almost limitless opportunities for an enjoyable social program for delegates and accompanying persons.
For those with time for pre-or-post Congress exploring, Sydney is the gateway to iconic travel locations including Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, and Kakadu.
On behalf of RANZCO, the APAO and the Organising Committee, I encourage our global colleagues and the international ophthalmic industry to join us, to participate and to experience our unique Australian hospitality. Your journey to Sydney will be more than worthwhile professionally and personally.
Ivan Goldberg
Congress President
