A Message from the ASUM President 

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou | Warm greetings to you all

On behalf of the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM), I would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us at this year’s ASUM New Zealand Conference.

It was a pleasure to welcome delegates from across Australasia to Ōtautahi Christchurch for an event that was inspiring, educational, and professionally rewarding. Your participation, enthusiasm, and commitment to advancing ultrasound practice helped create a vibrant and engaging conference experience for all.

Our 2026 theme, Think, Teach, Thrive, was reflected throughout the conference:

  • Critical thinking and innovation in ultrasound practice
  • Knowledge sharing and mentorship to strengthen our community
  • Professional growth that empowers us all to thrive

Thank you for contributing your expertise, insights, and energy to this year's event. Together, we continue to advance the ultrasound profession and strengthen our collegial connections across New Zealand and Australasia.

Acknowledging Our Speakers and Faculty

We would like to offer our sincere thanks to our keynote speakers, invited speakers, local faculty, and session chairpersons for their outstanding contributions.

Your willingness to share your knowledge, experience, and insights enriched the scientific programme and inspired meaningful discussion and learning. We are especially grateful for the considerable time, preparation, and dedication that goes into delivering presentations, facilitating sessions, and supporting professional development within our community.

Ngā mihi nui for your invaluable mahi. Your generosity in contributing your expertise is deeply appreciated and is fundamental to the success of the conference.

With Thanks to Our Industry Partners

We also extend our gratitude to our industry sponsors and exhibitors for their valued support. Your partnership plays a vital role in the success of the conference and contributes significantly to the ongoing advancement of ultrasound education, innovation, and clinical practice.

Thank you for sharing your expertise, showcasing the latest technologies and developments, and engaging with delegates throughout the conference. We greatly appreciate your commitment to our profession and your continued support of the ASUM community.
