PRESIDENT’S REPORT: ‘IRRESISTIBLE’
2
An excellent interdisciplinary program, outstanding speakers, a spectacular venue and one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations combine to make the 2023 ASPIRE Congress in South Australia irresistible as we emerge from the long COVID impasse.
While we were able to successfully engage on-line in the virtual formats of the 2021 and 2022 ASPIRE Congresses, the Adelaide gathering will be a welcome return to face-to-face interaction with our colleagues from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
Attending the Congress at the riverside Adelaide Convention Centre in September will ensure ASPIRE members keep abreast of the latest global developments in assisted reproduction.
The local organising committee headed by Professor Louise Hull is finalising a program that will be compelling for scientific researchers, clinicians, embryologists, nurses, counsellors, medical technicians and administrators in fertility care.

New membership drive
The Executive Board of ASPIRE has agreed to a range of incentives to encourage more people to join our dynamic and progressive society.
From 5 January 2023, ASPIRE membership annual subscription fees will be thirty Singapore dollars instead of ninety dollars.
For any new membership sign-ups between January and June 2023, the applicant will automatically be included in a lucky draw from which three winners – a clinician, an embryologist, and a nurse/midwife/ counsellor – will be selected to win free registration to the ASPIRE Congress in September 2023.
ASPIRE will also extend its free membership offer to nurses, midwives and counsellors for another year to include 2023.

Range of incentives to encourage more people to join our dynamic and progressive society
Furthermore, we have introduced a special membership promotion for embryologists and medical technicians. With every one year paid membership subscription, the applicant will get another year for free. For example, subscription to 2023, will enable an applicant to become a member for 2023 and 2024.
Given the challenges we face in providing assisted reproductive services in one of the most populated regions of the world, ASPIRE needs to have the broadest possible membership base representing each of the disciplines in our field.
The incentives outlined above make membership of ASPIRE even more appealing for people with the skills that we value so much in helping our patients achieve their dreams of parenthood. Watch our website for more details on the membership promotions.
