Maitland police are seeking the assistance of members of the public to help them trace 29-year-old Stefano Corso who was last seen by his colleagues on Wednesday afternoon.
He was a visiting doctor from Malta who was attending a medical seminar in Paarden Island at the time of his disappearance.
Reports suggest that he stepped out of the conference to attend to a phone call, but never returned.
Video footage available to SAPS shows him leaving the seminar. Attempts by his colleagues to reach him telephonically were unsuccessful. He has not been seen nor heard from since then. They then alerted the SAPS.
At the time of his disappearance he was wearing beige pants, a white t-shirt and a black jacket.
Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Stefano or who can assist the investigating officer to trace him is requested to contact the investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Melvyn Matthews, on 079 894 0092 or contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111.
