In this piece, we recap the last five days at the ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting. We visit highlights from the plenary speaker presentations by Chris Connor, Alana Flexman, Ramani Moonesinghe, Kevin Fong and Eugenie Kayak. We talk about the original research presented at the meeting including the breaking trials session. Then we review the great discussions we had with journal editors at the meeting. Finally we reflect on the great social events at the meeting, that foster fellowship and collegiality among anaesthetists. Go to our app or website to hear great podcasts recorded during the meeting.

Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Kate Leslie on location at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine in Cairns, Australia.
