2026 ANZSA Annual Scientific Meeting

Come for the science, stay for the reef and the rainforest — Cairns in October is the sweet spot of the dry season, with warm, sunny days perfect for a pre- or post-conference trip to the Great Barrier Reef or a scenic ride on the Skyrail over the Daintree. After sessions, wander the Esplanade's night markets for fresh barramundi and a mango smoothie, or catch the sunset over the Coral Sea with a local craft beer.
