2026 Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine Annual Scientific Meeting

The theme for the 2026 conference, “Big Data, Deeper Wisdom, Better Care” offers a timely and powerful lens through which to examine the field of Geriatric Medicine, as the global population ages. The need for compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based care for older adults has never been more critical. Big data provides unprecedented opportunities to analyse trends, predict outcomes, and tailor interventions to meet the complex needs of aging individuals. Yet, data alone is not enough. It must be interpreted through the deeper wisdom of clinical experience, interdisciplinary coordination, ethical reflection, and a profound understanding of what it means to provide truly better care.
