The Myeloma Summit returns to Queenstown from 6-8 August 2026, a recurring multiple-myeloma medical congress hosted by Myeloma New Zealand at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Queenstown Lakefront, with international keynote haematologists confirmed.
The Myeloma Summit returns to Queenstown from 6-8 August 2026, gathering haematology and oncology clinicians for a multiple-myeloma medical congress at the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Queenstown Lakefront. The event runs a live official site with published speakers, a preliminary programme and open registration, placing it firmly among New Zealand's confirmed 2026 medical meetings.
The summit is hosted by Myeloma New Zealand, a national charitable trust founded by haematologist Dr Ken Romeril, and professionally managed by ForumPoint2 Conference Partners, per the official event site. It is a recurring meeting: Myeloma NZ records earlier summits in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022, making the 2026 edition the latest in a long-running series for the New Zealand myeloma community.
The audience is medical professionals involved in myeloma care in New Zealand and the wider region, chiefly haematologists and oncology clinicians. Confirmed keynote speakers on the official site include Professor A. Keith Stewart (Director, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto), Dr Adam Bryant (Liverpool Hospital, Sydney, and President of the Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand), and Associate Professor Peter Mollee (Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane). A preliminary programme is published with a downloadable PDF; detailed session content is not reproduced here.
The conference host hotel is the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Queenstown Lakefront, on the corner of Frankton Road and Adelaide Street. The property sits on the Frankton Road corridor between central Queenstown and Queenstown Airport at Frankton, a short drive of roughly 10-15 minutes, giving delegates lakefront accommodation with direct road access to the airport. The organisers also list alternative nearby accommodation for overflow.
As a repeat, internationally-attended medical congress anchored to a single Queenstown host hotel, the Myeloma Summit is a reliable winter-season business-events fixture for the region, drawing specialist clinicians from across New Zealand and Australia into a resort destination during a traditionally quieter congress window.
