Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of AGES, we would like to invite you to Singapore. This is a landmark event for our society, being our first SE Asian meeting. We have listened to you, our members, and are taking this meeting to the Lion City, and we hope you can join us in this truly diverse sovereign city state. From the bustling hawker centres and night markets to the tranquillity of the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore has much more to offer than simply a stopover destination.
The two day program has been developed with similar diversity to appeal to the generalist and advanced laparoscopist alike. We will cover topics such as selfpreservation and managing stress, to modern day issues affecting fertility and pelvic floor function. Our speakers are a range of local Australian talent as well as some new names from Singapore - we are sure they will inspire and educate all.
The social highlight of this meeting will be a bumboat trip down the river to La Brasserie at the landmark Fullerton Hotel. Here we will enjoy an evening of wining and dining in this spectacular river city in a fashion that AGES has become renowned for.
This event is not to be missed as numbers are strictly limited. We look forward to welcoming you all to Singapore this October to “Preserve, Protect, Promote”

AGES is pleased to announce the winner of the AGES Society Art Prize for 2017 is Carrie Pitcher.
Carrie Pitcher is an emerging contemporary artist based in Melbourne, notable for her portraits, that are at once both representational and abstract.
Working with acrylic on canvas, she marries abstract expressionism: swathes of bold colour, and opportunistic mark making, with the narrative of the portrait.
Close-cropped composition and sheer scale create a feeling of intimacy, while layer upon layer of abstract colour impart dynamic energy as if projected across the motif—chosen for a particular quality that engages the artist’s aesthetic sensibility.
Exploring themes of feminine dynamism and identity, the figurative and the abstract are brought together in a body of work that expresses an undefined personal significance, an extension of the artist herself.
Carrie’s artworks will be distributed through various print media to a circulation of more than 6,000 doctors and health professionals. The artworks will be auctioned off at the AGES XXVIII ASM 2018.
AGES has made application to RANZCOG for accreditation of this meeting for CPD and PR&CRM points.
