• Proposed title / skill area to be addressed
• Name(s) of local presenters
• Name(s) of international presenters (if applicable)
• Proposed venue(s)
• Proposed budget
• A draft day-by-day plan of the event

Expressions of interest must be submitted by 31 March 2019 by email to the Executive Administrator, Marina Gerzic at info@anzamems.org.

Expressions of interest will be judged by a three-member panel of the ANZAMEMS Committee (Sue Broomhall, Clare Monagle, Peter Sherlock). The outcome will be announced no later than 14 April 2019.
