The 20th Australian Conference on Haemophilia, VWD and Rare Bleeding Disorders will take place this year from 8-9 October 2021 virtually.
The theme is Embracing a changing world.
This year we have decided to hold the conference virtually because of the uncertainty of the pandemic but we are very excited to go down this path. Bringing together the different parts of our community with health professionals and stakeholders has always been stimulating and rewarding. This year we expect our virtual conference will attract more delegates and create innovative learning opportunities and discussion for everyone. We are confident that nothing will be missing – in fact it will be enhanced!
Posters are an integral part of the conference, and we are calling for poster abstracts for our virtual poster display.
We encourage abstracts relevant to clinical practice and care, laboratory science, research, policy, living with bleeding disorders or treatment complications, peer support programs and special projects. This is a great opportunity to share ideas and experiences.
Click here for more information on submitting abstracts and the abstract submission form.
There will be prizes for the Best Abstract and the Best Poster.
Submit your abstract by Friday 30 June 2021.
Connecting with one another and being able to share experiences is an important part of our conferences. We will be doing things differently because we will not be meeting face-to- face this year, but there will be plenty of great opportunities to connect, share and have fun!

What do you need to participate successfully?
Do I need to sit in front of a screen for the entire 2 days?
No, there will be breaks, live sessions and pre-recorded sessions.
To get the most out of conference we recommend you attend the live sessions that are of most interest to you so you can ask questions and participate in any conversations.
Will sessions be available for playback on demand afterwards?
All sessions will be recorded. You will be able to access the recordings straight after the session. With your registration you will also be able to access the recordings on demand after the conference.
Will I be able to meet others in the community during the conference? I enjoyed the face- to-face part of past conferences.
Yes, you will have the opportunity to meet others virtually in scheduled social activities. We will have allocated times when this can happen.
Thank you to our sponsors
All delegates will be able to meet our Gold Sponsors in specially dedicated private rooms for health care professionals and community delegates.
