RSA 2021 Annual Conference Goes Hybrid!
For the first time the 2021 RSA Annual Conference will be moving to a hybrid event format, offering an in-person conference experience or a virtual connection.
For those of you who would prefer in-person networking and learning, exploring the exhibition space, catching up with colleagues, the opportunity to chat to presenters and the conference vibe, you can still attend in-person.
For those of you who are unable to travel, or prefer to learn from the comfort of your home, you can still virtually attend sessions and connect with your peers.
New for 2021, the recordings for the sessions and workshops (except for the Vascular Access workshop) will be available on-demand to all registration types until 16 August 2021. This means, when you return home after the conference you can watch any sessions you have missed or want to catch up on. You can also attend in person the workshop of greatest interest and catch up on the other workshops in your own time. On-demand access will be available to full registrations (both in person and online) and day registrations for your registered day.

The program features renowned speakers presenting on a range of topics. Knowledge is advanced only when it is shared. In this regard, we encourage you to submit an oral or poster presentation. Abstract submissions are now open and will close Thursday, 4 March 2021.
