SNOMED International Business Meetings and Expo
The upcoming SNOMED International Business Meeting and Expo, to be held in Sydney in October 2026, together with a dedicated pre-conference Jurisdictional Forum, presents a rare opportunity to bring together Australian and international stakeholders in one location to connect, share insights, and strengthen collaboration to advance national capability in clinical terminology.
For Australian stakeholders, this unique in-person event will also provide direct access to international counterparts, helping to strengthen professional networks and broaden knowledge-sharing relationships in ways that can directly benefit digital uplift and transformation programs.
Preparations are well underway, with Australian contributions set to showcase the progress and collaboration underpinning terminology-enabled interoperability.
Further information, including a promotional video, the Expo program and registration information, are available on the website SNOMED International Expo website.
