ESA SEMINAR 2025

We are pleased to be hosting the 2025 ESA Seminar Meeting in Melbourne, Victoria.

With the overarching theme of Reproductive Endocrinology, we are delighted to welcome Prof Frances Hayes as our Plenary Speaker. Prof Hayes is the Associate Clinical Chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her clinical practice and research expertise covers the spectrum of reproductive endocrinology. The plenary sessions will focus on both male and on female hypogonadism and will be complemented by symposia with Australian reproductive experts discussing male infertility, androgen replacement, fertility management in women and management of ovarian insufficiency, including Premature Ovarian Insufficiency, indications and contra-indications for postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy and the options available.

Additional Symposia will include an Update in Chemical Pathology, Management of Common Thyroid Disorders and the evidence basis for recent advances in cardiovascular Medicine.

In addition to the rich Seminar program, the 2025 meeting will once again offer a range of optional learning opportunities for delegates. The dedicated Advanced Trainee course will again be offered on Friday morning, after a highly successful pilot program in 2024. The topic for 2025 will focus on Genetics in Endocrinology and will also offer a condensed version for consultant endocrinologists immediately prior to the commencement of the Seminar program. Breakfast meetings will be held on Saturday for the Rural and Regional Special Interest Group and on Sunday by the Clinical Practitioner’s Forum in collaboration with the Early Careers Committee. The advanced trainees will have an opportunity to meet with the Endocrinology Advanced Trainee Chair prior to lunch on Saturday.

The latest updates in Endocrinology will be offered as a hybrid conference with virtual attendance registration in addition to live streaming with real-time Q&A. A dedicated parent’s room will be available on site at this meeting.

The 2025 social program will offer plenty of opportunities to connect and explore this vibrant city starting on Friday with an evening cocktail welcome function. On Saturday afternoon, delegates can choose to be immersed in the stunning digital art at The Lume, head to the football or participate in the inaugural locally organized “Amazing Race: ESA/Melbourne Edition”. The Saturday evening conference dinner will be held at the Sea Life Aquarium, surrounded by the enchanting beauty of marine life as a backdrop for unwinding and sharing the day’s experiences.

Our home town of Melbourne has much to offer, from its vibrant cultural scene and world-class dining to its iconic attractions. In addition to the stimulating academic program on offer, the ESA Seminar Meeting is an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and forge new networks. We look forward to seeing you for what promises to be an engaging and memorable seminar experience.
