In 2012, the Annual Scientific Meeting of the HAA (Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand - HSANZ, the Australian & New Zealand Society of Blood Transfusion - ANZSBT, and the Australasian Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis - ASTH) will be held jointly with the 7th Congress of the Asian-Pacific Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.

HAA-APSTH 2012 will be held at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, from 28 - 31 October 2012. It will be attended by approximately 1500 delegates from Australia, New Zealand and the Asian-Pacific region, including clinicians, scientists and nurses. The conference will cover a comprehensive range of topics, including haematological malignancies, haemostasis and thrombosis, stem cell transplantation, transfusion and other non-malignant haematological disorders.

We invite you to seize this opportunity to visit Melbourne in the springtime, when the Melbourne Cup racing carnival adds a fashionable buzz to the city.
