We are pleased to announce that the 2nd Australasian International Breast Congress (AIBC) in Brisbane, Australia, October 8-10, 2026. This Congress marks a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the World Congress on Controversies in Breast Cancer (CoBrCa), the Australasian Society for Breast Disease (ASBD), and Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand (BreastSurgANZ) who have worked together since the first successful congress in 2018 and are thrilled to continue this important journey of shared learning and collective advancement.
AIBC will be the main congress in the field of breast diseases in the Asia-Pacific region in 2026 and will continue the tradition of directly addressing key issues facing clinicians in their daily practice, including medical oncology, surgery, radiation oncology, breast imaging, pathology, reconstruction, allied health and survivorship issues. Through a format of debates, lectures and panel discussions, the congress will provide a forum to effectively address unresolved clinical and therapeutic problems. There will also be a series of workshops preceding the congress, to address the educational needs of the audience.
This partnership brings together diverse expertise and perspectives, with a broad national and international faculty, creating a platform where healthcare professionals can exchange ideas and share knowledge.
We look forward to welcoming you in the beautiful city of Brisbane.
Sincerely,
