    AbstractThe year 1996 was the 21st birthday of the Australian and New Zealand Annual Scientific Meeting on Intensive Care. With this maturity many of the issues that were so troublesome to intensive care in the early years relating to identity, training, recognition, and standards have largely resolved. There are, however, no signs of complacency. We need to improve the image of a career in intensive care to trainees, expand research opportunities, and respond to the ever-changing challenges coming from administrative reorganization, budgeting constraints, and increasing public expectations. I believe the foundations have been well laid to ensure a continuing contribution by Australian and New Zealand intensivists to clinical intensive care, their hospitals, ANZICS, and a place in the global research effort in intensive care.
