2025 NT ACE Conference
The Darwin Department of Anaesthesia warmly invites you to the 2025 Northern Territory Anaesthesia Continuing Education Conference, “Staying Cool Under Heat”. The conference will feature exceptional speakers from across Australia, alongside local experts and thought leaders, who will explore strategies to manage risk and uncertainty in anaesthesia.
In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to attend one of three workshops, all conveniently held onsite at the Darwin Convention Centre.
Our social program includes a dinner on Saturday evening, hosted at the beautiful Wharf One Food & Wine, offering stunning views and exceptional cuisine. Tickets for these events can be reserved during registration, and partners are warmly invited to join.
We recommend registering early to secure your place and enjoy networking with peers in the tropical surrounds of Darwin. While here, why not extend your stay to explore the stunning Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park, or the Tiwi Islands?
June is a lovely time to visit Darwin - we look forward to welcoming you, where knowledge meets the tropics at the iconic Darwin Convention Centre.
