About the Conference

The annual SMBE (NSW) training seminar is a not-to-be missed event for biomedical engineering personnel to meet and discuss common issues affecting their services, attend specialist training sessions on current and emerging technologies and to develop networking contacts.

The annual Conference is the SMBE’s main vehicle for networking and dissemination of knowledge on new equipment, technology and procedures. Annual seminars began in 1989 to bring much needed training and networking opportunities to the technicians working in regional and remote NSW.  They now are well attended by city and country engineers and technicians across Australia.
