ASM ends in Hobart

The ANZSNR ASM concluded today at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Hobart, Tasmania. 130+ registrants experienced a varied programme of neurointerventional and diagnostic topics, interspersed with social events at the MONA. These included a Delegate Dinner held at MONA and a cocktail event held on one of the MONA ferry vessels, both events preceded by private viewings at the MONA galleries. The 21st Annual General Meeting took place on Saturday evening. The Society thanked the convenor Dr Gerald McInerney and the INR convenor Prof Jens Frohlich for organising the meeting.
Next year the meeting will be held in Adelaide, SA in March, and the meeting convenor is Dr Steve Chryssidis.
