In order to make APE conferIMG_2164ences purposeful we propose themes of general interest.

Past themes have included:

  • Work-Life balance
  • Goal setting
  • Philanthropy
  • Happiness
  • Guilt
  • Serendipity
  • Surprise
  • Shibboleths
  • Energy
  • Risk
  • Disruption
  • Flow
  • Vision
  • Bonds
  • Flexibility
  • Recovery
  • Consciousness
  • Development

Presenters have taken advantage of the themes to link their narratives with other speakers.

The 2026 theme is “Chaos” – it just seemed to make sense… Feel free to bring your developing views on philosophy, artificial intelligence, anaesthesia, investor bias etc.!
