Welcome to the Engineering and Physical Sciences in Medicine (EPSM) and Australian Biomedical Engineering Conference (ABEC) 2024

SHAPING THE FUTURE

Hosted by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists & Engineers in Medicine jointly organised by Engineers Australia, the Conference will take place at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, from Sunday 17 to Wednesday 20 November 2024.

In 2024, the EPSM organising committee, along with our colleagues at ABEC, invite you to Naarm (Melbourne) to “Shape the Future”.

Medical physicists, engineers and technicians, whether involved directly in the clinic, or in research, are fundamental to the future of healthcare and health technology.  We invite you to share your vision of the future with us, in whatever shape it comes!

We are thrilled to call the city of Melbourne host to our annual scientific meeting this year. Melbourne is a global city internationally renowned for a culture flavoured by sport, food, the arts, and coffee.  Location notwithstanding, we hope to entice you with an exciting scientific programme boasting renowned international speakers, leading national presenters, collaborative forums and countless learning and networking opportunities.

Over the coming months, we will be announcing details of the programme so be sure to subscribe to our mailing list. Be assured that we’ll be coupling the science with plenty of social activities to get you engaged with your friends and colleagues, so there’s no excuse not to see you in November at the Melbourne Grand Hyatt.

I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the Biomedical Engineering community’s Australian Biomedical Engineering Conference (ABEC) 2024 hosted by Engineers Australia. It is a privilege to be part of an event that brings together professionals, technologists, associates, researchers, educators and enthusiasts in the field of Biomedical Engineering.

This conference serves as a platform to celebrate the remarkable contributions and achievements of our community. Whether applied in education, research, technology development and manufacturing, healthcare, disability, regulatory affairs or broader society, each contribution plays a vital role in advancing our society.

The focus of Engineers Australia's Biomedical College remains steadfast on fostering connections within the Biomedical Engineering community. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, collaboration and communication among peers are paramount. It is through these interactions that we not only embed the value of Biomedical Engineering professionals in society, but also enhance our understanding of current trends and practices, paving the way for future advancements and capabilities in the field.

Wishing you all a rewarding and enriching experience at the Biomedical Engineering Conference. May your time here be filled with meaningful connections, insightful discussions, inspiration and knowhow for the journey ahead. More importantly, however, may you feel like a valued member of our Biomedical community.
