NZSMIRT Conference 2026 – Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland

10 -13 September 2026

Join us on 10-13 September for NZSMIRT 2026 for our annual conference being held at the Grand Millennium Hotel Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

Our theme: Human Intelligence (HI) and Artificial Intelligence: The confluence that defines medical imaging and radiation therapy practice. The Shortened Theme version is Hybrid Intelligence.

This conference aims to foster dialogue and collaboration on how humans and machines can complement each other to solve complex problems. The integration of HI and AI represents a pivotal moment in cognitive enhancement, offering unprecedented opportunities to revolutionize decision-making processes and problem-solving capabilities across diverse fields.

In particular, the Conference will highlight the advances in medical imaging and radiation therapy practice on aspects that cuts across human intelligence (HI) and AI to demonstrate that these are not independent from one another. The practice areas that are of importance are the following: advanced practice, image interpretation, research in medical imaging, the changing landscape of medical imaging practice, ethical and regulatory issues related to both HI and AI, creating the future in medical imaging, education, patient-centred care, cultural safety, hybrid Imaging, and adaptive intelligence.
