PERTH Convention Bureau (PCB) has secured hosting rights for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Annual Scientific Congress (RACS ASC 2015) for 2015, an event that will see the attendance of up to 3,500 surgeons from Australia, New Zealand, South-east Asia, India and the Middle East.
According to a press release by the PCB, the RACS ASC 2015 will be the largest, highest yielding medical congress staged in Perth to date, and has the potential to expand to 4,500 international surgeons through an invitation to Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.
PCB’s long standing relationship with RACS, supported by the bureau’s Aspire scholarship, has helped to expand the event’s attendance by potentially 1,000 more international delegates.
“The benefits to Western Australia’s economy and surgical knowledge base will be substantial. The Perth Annual Scientific Congress will be one of the largest conferences in the state since CHOGM 2011, and the highest yielding ever,” said PCB CEO, Paul Beeson.
As part of the event, RACS will offer attendees customised pre and post touring packages to both the north-west and south-west of Western Australia. The tours will include a visit to Albany which coincides with a commemorative event for the Anzac Centenary.
