Welcome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t

Dear colleagues,\u00a0<\/p>\n

On behalf of AGES and AAGL we would like to welcome you to Bangkok.\u00a0 This is a landmark event for our society, being our affiliated AAGL meeting.\u00a0 We have forged a strong friendship with AAGL over the last few years and are excited to co-host this event.\u00a0\u00a0 We have chosen the theme of “The Modern Muse” to fit in with this location and interests of our speakers and audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have chosen Bangkok for its location being accessible to Australia, New Zealand, America and Asia.\u00a0 Bangkok is a vibrant city with huge diversity and culture.\u00a0 It offers the opportunity for safe post pandemic travel for our societies.\u00a0 It’s a city known for its food, people, culture and shopping!!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two-day program has been written with similar diversity to appeal to the generalist and advanced laparoscopists alike.\u00a0 We will cover issues including transgender medicine, modern surgical techniques and Imaging techniques.\u00a0 Our speakers are a range of AAGL board members (Dr Andrew Sokol, current AAGL president, Dr Sony Singh, Dr Shailesh Puntambekar and Prof Sven Becker) as well as some well-known AGES speakers.\u00a0 We are also fortunate to have some fantastic local speakers bringing their expertise to the program.\u00a0 We are sure they will inspire and educate all.\u00a0 The program is available under the “program” tab.<\/p>\n

This will be the first meeting for the new AGES board.\u00a0 We welcome you to join with us and make this meeting a memorable occasion for all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\tDr Rachel Green
\n<\/strong>Co-Chair,\u00a0 AGES President\n\t
