Welcome to ASM 59 Adelaide 2027
On behalf of the ASM Organising Committee (AOC), we are delighted to invite you to the Australasian College of Dermatologists 59th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM 59), taking place at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 14–16 May 2027.
This year also introduces an important change to the ASM format – a change shaped by overwhelmingly positive member feedback and delivered by College.
ASM 59 will commence one day earlier, with pre-day workshops on Thursday, followed by the main scientific program from Friday to Sunday. More time for scientific exchange, collegial connection, and more practical travel arrangements.
