INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

17-18 February 2023, Crown Conference Centre Melbourne

Endorsed by the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the New Zealand Association of Plastic Surgeons (NZAPS), and approved by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS), the plastic surgeons of The Melbourne Institute of Plastic Surgery have great pleasure in inviting you to attend the 25^th Advanced Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Workshop (AAPSW) to be held at the Crown Conference Centre from 17^th – 18^th February 2023.

The 2023 workshop will focus on ‘The Art of Facial Aesthetic Surgery’. In keeping with gaining the most from the visit of our two invited international guests, we will also feature other topics of aesthetic interest including eyelids, face and neck surgery, fat grafting and augmentation and non surgical.

The 2023 workshop will include didactic teaching, video presentations of topical surgical procedures along with discussion panels and audience Q&A opportunities. A host of talented local experts will also be included in the program to ensure that the 25^th AAPSW provides another year of strong educational content to all attending.

We wish to raise the standards of management for the betterment of the specialty and hence to improve patient outcomes, as well as to raise the bar in an already high standard plastic surgery community.

We encourage you to not only support this meeting, which has become a permanent highlight in our yearly plastic surgery calendar, but to also become involved with your fellow attendees to help us continue to make this a valuable meeting to the great benefit of all plastic surgeons, plastic surgery trainees, dedicated plastic surgery nurses and the industry sponsors involved.

As has become tradition, the workshop is once again being held at the Crown Conference Centre in Melbourne, Australia. The Crown complex is a landmark of this remarkable city and located at the heart of the action in Melbourne’s vibrant Southbank entertainment precinct. The Conference centre sits adjacent to the Crown Entertainment Complex, Promenade, Metropol and Crown Towers hotels, is only a short walk to the CBD and only moments from the city’s world renowned arts and sporting precincts.

“The Advanced Aesthetic Workshop was a high level, but incredibly friendly meeting I thoroughly enjoyed being part of. A world-class faculty gave excellent talks in a relaxed environment where further discussion and questions added to the quality of the presentations. Despite coming from the other side of the world, I will definitely be coming back and am already looking forward to future meetings!”

“This was the second time I attended this meeting and again it was a great experience. The organization was truly amazing with attention to detail, excellent quality and presentation of the lectures and outstanding social events. Worth flying over from Europe for!!”

“I was invited to speak at the Advanced Plastic Surgery Aesthetic Workshop in Melbourne in February 2015 and met the team behind The Production House Events who organized the entire meeting. In my role as travelling professor for Plastic Surgery I attend about a dozen conferences a year. I also help organize several regional and national meetings worldwide and have dealt with numerous special event organizers. In all my years attending conferences and symposia, I have never witnessed a meeting as well organized as the one arranged by The Production House Events team. Travel, transportation, meals, refreshments, display booths and gala dinners were all arranged in a seamless fashion. The meeting included complex audio visual requirements that went off without a hitch. The atmosphere was relaxed and professional and the Production House Team handled the unexpected with aplomb and professionalism. I hope I get a chance to work with them again. “
