APEC 2025 is the inaugural Australasian Perioperative Educators Conference hosted by Periop Concepts, created specifically for perioperative nurse educators across Australia, New Zealand, and neighbouring regions. ENGAGE. INNOVATE. ELEVATE. This isn’t just a conference—it’s a deep dive into what’s next for perioperative education: bold ideas, real-world solutions, and transformative connections. Where possibility becomes practice.

We’re bringing together a dynamic lineup of leading experts in perioperative education. The full presenter list will be released in early August — we can’t wait to share it with you.

Tickets, including full pricing details, will be available in early August 2025.

We’ve partnered with our friends at Quest Collingwood to offer 20% off accommodation for all APEC delegates.
