The Australian and New Zealand Vulvovaginal Society (ANZVS) invites abstract submissions for the 2026 Scientific Meeting, to be held from 6-8 November, 2026 in Melbourne. This meeting brings together clinicians, researchers, and multidisciplinary experts committed to advancing vulvovaginal health.
We encourage submissions from clinicians at all stages, including trainees and early career researchers. Accepted abstracts may be published in conference materials.
We welcome submissions across all areas of vulvovaginal health and disease. Submissions may include clinical research, translational science,
case-based learning, and practice innovation.
Abstracts must be original work.
Ethical approval is assumed where required.
Prize
There is a $500 prize for the best submission and a great opportunity to share your work with a highly engaged audience and contribute to improving care for patients with vulvovaginal conditions.
The prize recipient will be announced at the conclusion of the session.
ANZVS reserves the right not to award the prize if no presentation meets a sufficient standard.
Disclaimer: In the event of a tie between two or more eligible applicants for the ANZVS Abstract Prize, the prize money will be equally shared among the winners. Each recipient will receive an equal portion of the total prize amount, which is AUD $500. The decision of the judging panel is final, and no appeals will be considered.
