16th SGA Biennial Meeting Postponement Announcement

The 16th SGA Biennial Meeting, Rotorua, New Zealand, originally scheduled for 15 – 18 November 2021, has been postponed to 28 – 31 March, 2022.

This decision has been reached due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty around international travel restrictions to New Zealand in November 2021. These travel limitations have made it impractical to plan to hold the conference on the original dates. While the local organising committee regret having to reschedule the conference, we are looking forward to being able to welcome you to New Zealand in March 2022!

Any further updates will be communicated via the conference website and email notifications.
The abstract submission platform remains open and we encourage you to continue submitting your papers for consideration.

Over the next few weeks we will be updating the website content, so please do keep checking back for the latest information.

If you are not yet on the mailing list please sign up for future notifications.
