Unfortunately, I regret to announce that 9th Australian & New Zealand Child Neurology Society (ANZCNS) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), which was to be held in Melbourne from the 4th-6th of September 2020, is now cancelled.

The ANZCNS Board recently reached a unanimous decision to cancel the meeting in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Board would like to thank the local organising committee, led by Associate Professor Richard Leventer and Doctor Katherine Howell for work done thus far in preparation for the ASM. It is our intention to reschedule the meeting for the 1st-3rd of September 2021, to be held in Melbourne, at the Pullman Hotel Albert Park.

The ANZCNS membership, sponsors and exhibitors will be kept informed of new developments and we look forward to seeing you in Melbourne in 2021.

The Annual General meeting will be held online in September 2020 and notice of the AGM and the meeting agenda will be circulated to the ANZCNS membership in mid-2020.

The ANZCNS Board is currently exploring the feasibility of a half day online forum in September 2020 to enable trainees to present scientific abstracts. More information will follow in due course.

Thank you for your understanding.

Mark Mackay ANZCNS President/CEO
