To attend the annual closed meeting of the Australian Knee Society, you must be invited by a Full or Honorary Member.
That member should forward your invitation to the current secretary, who shall note the invitation and respond accordingly. Notification will then be sent to you, the invitee, and to the member extending the invitation. Subsequently, you will receive notification of the next meeting, and instructions on how to register.
Applications for registration at an AKS closed meeting will not be accepted without a formal invitation from a member.
2025 Meeting details to be advised at a later time
Members will be invited to submit abstracts prior to every meeting, and due notification of that invitation will be circulated ahead of time.
Non-members may present at a meeting only by invitation. They firstly need to be invited to the meeting by a Full or Honorary Member, and then, on receipt of meeting details, must forward the appropriate abstract by the deadline for such submission. It is a policy of the society that all presentations should be given by qualified Orthopaedic Surgeons or Associated Practitioners (physiotherapists etc.). Those undergoing a Fellowship Program may present, whereas Registrars and Trainees may not. Where a paper is submitted by a registrar or trainee, it must be presented by the senior author, who shall be a qualified Orthopaedic Surgeon or Associated Practitioner. This meeting is regarded as a high level meeting, and it is considered that there are more appropriate forums for the presentation of research by a registrar or trainee.
