Sydney has been selected to host the World Congress on Endometriosis
in May 2025. The Australian Society of Endometriosis worked with the
bidding specialists at BESydney to clinch this event which will be held
at the International Convention Centre Sydney over four days.
The venue is expected to draw more than 1,000 people, generating an
estimated A$3.9million (US$2.6 million) in direct expenditure.
BESydney CEO, Lyn Lewis-Smith, said, “Sydney was able to create an
exceptional team of national representatives from across the spectrum of
endometriosis research, clinical care and patient advocacy to lobby for
this important event. We know that by bringing people together through
events like this, delegates are provided the opportunity to contribute
to ideas and solutions that will impact the lives and wellbeing of women
around the globe.”
Tourism Australia managing director, Phillipa Harrison, said securing
the 2025 World Congress on Endometriosis with support of the Business
Events Bid Fund Program would consolidate Australia’s pipeline of future
business events
Bid leader and clinical president for the Congress, professor of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology UNSW Sydney, Jason Abbott, said, “The World
Congress on Endometriosis is the only congress in the world that focuses
solely on endometriosis and the impact it has on all those with the
disease. It brings scientists, clinicians, researchers, and patients
together into one space with the united goal of finding answers to the
disease.
“The World Congress on Endometriosis is unique since it not only
highlights well-known experts to share their wisdom but elevates new and
emerging investigators through abstract-driven plenary sessions to
ensure that cutting edge technologies, ideas, and advances are adding to
our understanding of endometriosis. Those 120 plus plenary
presentations, based on the quality of abstracts submitted, are what
make our Congress ground-breaking.”
Sydney’s other major health and life science events in 2023 include
the FDI World Dental Congress, World Conference on Family Doctors
(WONCA) and the World Congress on Safety and Health at Work.
