to our collegial face-to-
face format in Adelaide
People planning to attend the ASPIRE 2023 Congress in Adelaide in September can secure significant savings through early bird registration, which closes on 15 May.
The meeting at the riverside Adelaide Convention Centre from 7 to 10 September is shaping up to provide fascinating new paradigms in assisted reproduction showcasing latest advances in the field in the Asia Pacific region and globally.
Professor Budi Wiweko, Chair of the ASPIRE 2023 Scientific Committee, said luminaries in the field would address keynote topics relating to basic sciences in reproduction, embryology and clinical perspectives
Seven keynote lectures will headline the meeting covering topics including:
• evolutionary genomics;
• quality and quantity issues in ovarian ageing;
• ovarian rejuvenation;
• breakthroughs or fake news in reproductive medicine;
• COVID-19 and reproduction;
• reproductive immunology; and
• making a difference in reducing miscarriage.
The traditional Bruno Lunenfeld Lecture to open the program will be presented by eminent reproductive biologist Professor John Aitken as he explores the decline in human fertility.
The mainstream of the Congress program will be equally compelling as speakers explore latest advances and developments in assisted conception including:
• recurring pregnancy loss;
• the future of embryology;
• maternal and paternal age factors;
• fertility preservation in cancer patients;
• environmental impacts on fertility;
• advances in reproductive genetics;
• cultural and ethical issues; patient perspectives in assisted reproductive technology;
• controversial treatments;
• unexplained infertility;
• management of PCOS and endometriosis;
• laboratory benchmarks beyond 2023;
• investing in future fertility; and
• building resilience in patients undergoing treatment and sharing information.
The theme of the Congress is Welcome Back To Our Future in the first face-to-face ASPIRE Congress since the onset of COVID-19 disruptions. Pre-Congress workshops will be held on Thursday 7 September with the official opening the following morning.
A range of accommodation options in the beautiful city of Adelaide along with spectacular post-Congress tours of iconic South Australian wine, food and wildlife regions will tempt delegates to the meeting.
Professor Louise Hull, Chair of the ASPIRE 2023 Local Organising Committee said: “We hope you will join us in developing new ideas and collaborations to further the careers of future generations of researchers and clinical experts.
“We can finally take the opportunity to bring our ideas together in person and celebrate our diversity in what is one of the most liveable cities in the world.”
