Dr Greg Cowderoy – AMSIG President
PLANNING
The planning for this meeting commenced in 2018. As the proposed format of the 2020 meeting with the
inclusion of three funded overseas speakers differed to the usual AMSIG programmes, the committee
sought approval for the additional expenditure for speaker flights at the 2018 AGM. This was confirmed at
this time, with a cap of AU$10,000 for each of the speaker’s flights.
The PCO met initially with the Committee at the AMSIG Annual Meeting in May 2018 and teleconferences
were held monthly from June 2019 until the postponement of the Meeting in mid-March 2020. A special
meeting was held on the 11th March with the Committee and the AMSIG Executive to decide as to whether
the 2020 Meeting should be postponed. At this time, the rescheduled meeting dates for 2021 were set as
the 8 and 9 May, with pre-meeting workshops on 7 May.
MEETING LOCATION and VENUE
The SMC Conference and Function Centre was chosen as the conference venue. It has a good central
location, parking close by and was reasonably priced. The cost of booking an inner-city 4- or 5-star hotel
proved to be prohibitive for 2020. In addition to significantly higher than usual daily delegate rate, the
hotels wanted “hold-over” fees to hold the exhibition and plenary set up in place overnight on Friday and
Saturday nights.
POSTPONEMENT NOTES
The SMC Conference and Function Centre has been re-booked for Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 May 2021,
with pre meeting workshops on Friday 1 May for the rescheduled 2021 Meeting. The 2020 deposit of
$29,110.20 have been transferred to the 2021 accounts and dates, with the same terms and conditions.

Robert Lambert made a belated request in late 2019 for the Meeting to also cover the return business class flights for his IT Manager Joel Paschke to Sydney who would assist him with the set up for the SpA workshop. This was approved by the committee and the flights were booked via Outshine’s travel broker in New Zealand and charged to the meeting budget. (In lieu of this approval, Robert did secure some cheap return flights for himself to offset the additional costs for Joel’s flights). #Dr Katie Glazebrook self-funded her own flights to and from Sydney and the conference covered three nights’ accommodation in an Executive Room, daily breakfast, and complimentary registration for her and 2 Gala dinner tickets. POSTPONEMENT NOTES On Tuesday 10th March, Anne Cotten advised that she would be unlikely to be travel to Sydney in May due to organizational travel restrictions. Whilst David Salonen and Robert Lambert had no such travel bans in place, they expected them to be in place by the end of March. All 3 speakers had booked and paid for their own airfares. Anne and Robert were offered credits by their airline to be used with 12-24 months and David obtained a full refund. Given that Anne and Robert had already paid out for their flights and were now unable to use them at the booked dates, it was decided that they would be refunded immediately. Both speakers were grateful for this offer. The costs for the reimbursement is $15,325.97 and this has been transferred to the 2021 Meeting under the assumption that the speakers will be able to present (virtually or in person) in May 2021. The costs for Joel’s flights of $11,139.00 were refunded via the travel broker less a cancellation fee of $1,974. AMSIG Annual Meeting 2020 Postponed Conference Report 5

Salonen and Anne Cotten. These were for a maximum of 50 pax and ran from 9.00am – 1.00pm and 2pm
– 6pm, with delegates accessing the cases from their own devices. Janssen Cilag were the Workshop
Sponsors.
Ultrasound Workshop – Two hands on sessions were booked on Friday 1 May, as part of the Canon Major
Sponsor Package. Mr Stephen Bird, a sonographer from Adelaide was to present the workshops which
were for a maximum of 15 pax at 3 workstations.
CASE OF THE DAY QUIZ
Dr George Koulouris was unable to attend the 2020 Meeting and present the Case of The Day Quiz, and so
Dr James Linklater had agreed to present the quiz on this occasion.
AMSIG Annual Meeting 2020 Postponed Conference Report 6AMSIG ACADEMY
In late 2019, the committee identified the need for some focused registrar training to assist in their
preparation for the Part II exams. A 90-minute mock VIVA session was added to the scientific programme
on Sunday 3rd May at the conclusion of the meeting. This was promoted to DOT’s, as well as state-wide
registrar training networks. There was an unavoidable clash with a training day at a Sydney hospital, but
even given this circumstance, there was good interest in this session - there was no cost to attend whether
the trainees were attending the Meeting or not.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
CONFERENCE DINNER
The Harbourside Room at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) located in The Rocks was chosen for
the dinner. Several venues were considered, but the Committee agreed that a central Sydney location was
preferable, so that delegates were not reliant on pre-ordered shuttles and could make their own way to
and from the venue. The Harbourside room offers fantastic views over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and
Opera House and can comfortably seat up to 200 pax. At previous AMSIG Meetings, the dinners have
AMSIG Annual Meeting 2020 Postponed Conference Report 9always sold out at 100 pax and have been restricted to members only. This size of this venue meant that the dinner was open to all meeting attendees, partners, and industry. Confirmed Numbers at the time of postponement: 95 pax EXECUTIVE DINNER The AMSIG Executive Dinner was provisionally booked at the Alpha Restaurant, a high-end Greek restaurant in their private dining room. About 8 weeks prior to the Meeting, the restaurant advised the PCO that they were undergoing renovations that were not going to be completed in time for our booking with them. At the time of postponement, no new venue had been confirmed. Confirmed Numbers at the time of postponement: 12 pax POSTPONEMENT NOTES The MCA and MCA caterers Fresh Collective agreed to transfer the booking deposits of $4,500 and $5,500 respectively to the re-scheduled date of Saturday 8 May 2021. SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION A “Save the Date” reminder was sent to all 2014-2019 supporters in July 2019 and a full proposal was distributed in August 2019 to an Imaging Company database of approx. 80 companies. Regular follow ups were made to this database and in particular past supporters of the meeting. All sponsorship packages included a “space only” 3m deep x 1.8m wide site with a trestle table, power and 2 chairs. Canon were again the Major Sponsor for the 2020 Meeting, following on from their successful investment at this level for the last 3 years. As the Scientific Programme was already full with talks from the international speakers, the option of pre-meeting ultrasound hands-on workshops was offered as part of their sponsorship package. All other benefits of their 2019 package were also included: Meeting Dinner, Barista, Meeting App, Meeting Stationery, two exhibition spaces and 6 staff registrations. Canon’s involvement was confirmed in late August. Janssen-Cilag were confirmed as the SpA workshop in early September. Bruno Giuffrè had several discussions with Janssen-Cilag in 2018-2019 about them supporting the workshop costs including the return flights for Prof Robert Lambert. This was confirmed in September 2019 and they also booked an exhibition site, which was offered to them at a discounted rate given their sponsorship investment. Sponsoring Companies: Canon: Major Sponsor $22,500.00 Janssen Cilag: Pre-Meeting SpA Workshop Sponsor $22,500.00 Siemens Healthineers: Namebadges Lanyards Sponsor $5,500.00 Sonic Imaging: Session Sponsor $6,000.00 Total Sponsorship Income $56,500.00 Exhibiting Companies: GE Healthcare: $3,500.00 Inline Systems: $3,500.00 AMSIG Annual Meeting 2020 Postponed Conference Report 10

POSTPONEMENT NOTES
AMSIG Annual Meeting 2020 Postponed Conference Report 12At the Executive/Committee special meeting that was held on 11th March, the cost to AMSIG to postpone
the Meeting was discussed at length. Despite holding insurance cover for the meeting, there was no
extension included to cover a cancellation and or shortfall of delegates due to a pandemic and so no
insurance could be claimed to cover cancellation costs.
The general feeling was that in the case of cancellation, AMSIG wanted to ensure that a minimal fee was
levied to the delegates to recoup some of the cancellation costs and so a one-off fee of $50.00 per
registration was confirmed.
Delegates were refunded directly to their credit cards via STRIPE or a direct credit via the banking system
– in line with how they had paid their fees. Outshine had to reach an agreement with STRIPE to be able to
refund all credit cards in one transaction as this was not a procedure that they would normally offer.
Several credit cards had expired from the time of the registration to the time of the refund. Some of the
newly issued cards were refunded automatically or Outshine contacted these delegates and obtained their
bank accounts for the refund.
Outshine refunded $18,475 to delegate bank accounts and $79,875 to delegate credit cards.
Where possible, as the 2021 Meeting is a rescheduling of the 2020 Meeting, some of the costs that could
not be recouped were shared between the two Meetings (i.e. design, website build, speaker travel, flight
credits that are in place for cancelled Outshine onsite staff flights).
A copy of the 2021 Profit and Loss statement is also attached, so show the costs that are currently
transferred to the rescheduled meeting.
