Thank you for being part of the ADIPS/SOMANZ Annual Scientific Meeting

The joint congress between the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) and the Society of Obstetric Medicine of Australia and New Zealand (SOMANZ) welcomed you to Aotearoa, the land of the long white cloud, to ‘Look Beyond’ in 2025. Our globally renowned speakers provided an exceptional conference experience that enhanced knowledge and delivered up-to-date, evidence-based insights for patient care.

We curated a program that highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary, holistic care in pregnancy and beyond, focusing on the management of diabetes and a range of complex maternal medical conditions. The program appealed to allied health professionals, diabetes educators and nurses, dietitians, endocrinologists, general physicians, general practitioners, midwives, obstetricians, and obstetric medicine physicians from across New Zealand and Australia.

Thank you for joining us!
