Social Program

Tasmania is about farm to table, Hobart is about showcasing locally sourced produce at its best, and the combined CSSANZ Colorectal Spring Meeting and 2019 GSA ASM is about capturing the best of their host city, and offering it up in the form of a not-to-be missed Social Program.

Kicking off our time in Hobart is the Trainees’ Dinner at renowned Agrarian Kitchen; and the Spring Colorectal Dinner at Franklin – both on the Thursday evening. Finish the Combined Program on the Friday with the Welcome Reception at the Historic Henry Jones Art Hotel in the beautiful outdoor courtyard; and finish off the Social Program with the annual Social Spectacular where you will enjoy a beautiful three course dinner with the best Constitution Dock views Hobart has to offer, at the Brooke Street Larder.
