Welcome to the 57th Annual Scientific Congress of RANZCO, to be held from 6-9 November 2026 in the vibrant harbour city of Auckland, Aotearoa.
Hosted at the brand-new New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC), this Congress brings together ophthalmologists, researchers and eye-care professionals from across Australia, New Zealand and beyond for a world-class program.
The Scientific Program features landmark Named Lectures, including the Sir Norman Gregg, Dame Ida Mann and Fred Hollows Lectures - alongside specialised Update Lectures in Cataract, Glaucoma, Neuro-ophthalmology, Refractive and Retina care. Beyond the academic program, delegates will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Auckland’s unique blend of natural beauty and urban culture. From its volcanic-cone landscape, coastal harbours and island escapes to vibrant art, culinary and multicultural scenes, Auckland offers an unforgettable backdrop for learning, networking and inspiration. Whether you’re looking to stay at the forefront of ophthalmic advances, connect with colleagues across the region, or simply enjoy world-class hospitality and cultural richness - this Congress promises to deliver both professional growth and memorable experiences.
