One Airway
One Team
Safe Airway Society Annual Meeting 2026
Noosa Heads, Queensland
For the first time, two of Australia and New Zealand’s largest airway organisations are coming together for back-to-back airway meetings, united by a common theme: “One Airway, One Team”.
Held at the Elysium Noosa Resort, these two meetings will be filled with engaging presentations, interactive panel discussions and hands-on workshops. Get ready for 2 days of exceptional airway education as the Safe Airway Society, in collaboration with the ANZCA/ASA/NZSA Airway Management Special Interest Group, bring together local and international airway experts to inform and challenge your thinking across a spectrum of topical issues in airway management.
Note that separate registrations are required for each meeting if you wish to attend both.
