Awards Dinner
Date: Saturday 16 May 2026
Time: 7.00pm – 11.00pm
Location: Ballroom, National Convention Centre Canberra
Additional ticket: $199.00
Theme: A Night at the Billabong
Inspired by the conference scientific theme, From Concept to Cure: Transforming Healthcare with Nuclear Medicine, the ANZSNM 2026 Awards Dinner invites delegates to come together for an evening of celebration, connection, and fun, themed A Night at the Billabong.
Set against a distinctly Australian backdrop, the evening reflects the relaxed, familiar spirit of a billabong — a place for stories, laughter, and shared moments with colleagues and friends. Our conference mascot, Pho the Platypus — named for the photon at the heart of nuclear medicine — will quietly paddle through the night, adding a light‑hearted touch as we recognise excellence across our community.
Delegates are encouraged to embrace the theme by dressing in Australiana colours or drawing inspiration from native Australian animals. Adding a little creative flair is very welcome — and there may even be a prize for the best‑dressed billabong guest on the night.
We look forward to welcoming the nuclear medicine community to Canberra for what promises to be a memorable Awards Dinner at ANZSNM 2026.
Conference After Party
Date: Sunday 17 May 2026
Time: 4.30pm – 6.30pm
Location: Central Social Club, Corner of City Walk and Petrie Plaza, Canberra
Wrap up the weekend with a relaxed evening of drinks and great conversation at the Central Social Club. With its warm and welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to unwind and connect with fellow attendees. Conveniently located just a short 10-minute walk from the National Convention Centre Canberra, it’s an easy and enjoyable way to round out the conference.
We look forward to seeing you there!
