aBOUT THE ANNUAL ALMA CONFERENCE

ALMA has held a members’ conference every year since 1999, and it has become the highlight of the ALMA calendar, providing members a time to come together and learn from each other and all financial members can attend.

ALMA aims to encourage and support all members to attend conference and financial assistance is available for those who may require it. For medical student members ALMA covers the cost of conference registration, accommodation and meals, and can provide travel subsidies.

All membership fees must be renewed for the 2025/2026 financial year, which can be completed on our membership page.

ALMA partners* (not in medicine) are welcome to attend the conference at a concession rate, and there are lunch only options also available.

*Please note that to facilitate a safe space for members attending the conference, partners who identify as men are not able to attend.
