welcome

On behalf of the organising committee, we warmly welcome you to be part of the CR24 Colorectal Spring Meeting on 3-5 October 2024 at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, Victoria. This meeting is a chance to join your surgical and nursing colleagues together with our industry partners for two full days of sessions and multiple social functions designed to help you reconnect and reengage while in bustling Melbourne. 

CR24 is an exciting opportunity to be involved with a meeting of specialist surgeons from Australia, New Zealand and beyond, all of whom have an interest in colorectal disease.
