We are having International renal pathologists who will be participating as speakers at the annual IAP meeting in Brisbane. In the lead up to the IAP meeting, we have organised two satellite sessions, dedicated to renal pathology, by the international experts in Sydney on the 27th of May, and in Brisbane on the 28th of May in the evening from 6 to 9.30 pm. The speakers are well regarded Internationally and experienced renal pathologists. We also have well regarded experienced nephrologists on the panel in both the satellite programs in addition to the international faculty, which we hope will lead to good insightful clinicopathologic discussions. The Sydney meeting and Brisbane renal pathology meeting programs and registration links are attached. Please do take this opportunity to attend these dedicated sessions on renal pathology. These are free sponsored events and refreshments will be provided. Hope to see you all in Brisbane (in-person) and Sydney satellite event (in-person / hybrid).
