Invitation to Attend

Dear Colleagues,

The Australian Society of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery (ASOHNS) 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide promises to provide an exciting and memorable conference.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is with great pleasure that I wish to extend an invitation for you and your partner to attend the 62nd Annual Scientific Meeting at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Under the theme of "Global Perspectives" an all encompassing program has been planned to deliver as broad as possible views in all aspects of our specialty, as well as encourage interaction with an outstanding international and Australian faculty.

Adelaide is indeed a beautiful and vibrant city in the autumn, abuzz during annual festivals of the arts, music as well as spectacular motor sport and thoroughbred racing events. It is also the perfect time to visit local wineries or just sample some of Australia's best wines along with local gourmet produce.

I am sure that you will enjoy this exceptional conference and encourage you to attend. It is a great opportunity for new and renewed friendships with colleagues while experiencing the welcoming hospitality of Adelaide in 2012.

Darcy Economos
Convenor 2012

The Scientific Program for Adelaide 2012 will cover contemporary and controversial issues such as robotic surgery, implants, balloons, endoscopic skull-base surgery, aboriginal ear disease, multi-level sleep surgery and surgical governance.

Our key-note speakers are all excellent presenters and not afraid to engage in debate. We are also honoured to have over 15 other invited international speakers and our aim is that this will provide an academic environment where ASOHNS Members can see what the rest of the world is doing, not just from a research perspective, but also clinically on a day-to-day basis.

Our four satellite meetings will be on Aboriginal Ear Disease, Robotic Head & Neck Surgery, Balloons in OHNS and a Temporal bone workshop on implantable devices.

We hope the free-papers will add to all this and provide you with a Scientific Meeting that will relate, educate, debate and stimulate.

Simon Carney
Scientific Convenor

Adelaide always has great ASOHNS Annual Scientific Meetings. The easy travel, the close proximity to the CBD of the Convention Centre and the many restaurants within a short walk from available hotels and apartments ensure maximum convenience for all attending.

The organizing committee headed by Darcy Economos has spent 2 years planning what promises to be as always a wonderfully enjoyable 5 days of education, instruction and social interaction.

Simon Carney as the academic convenor and his committee have gathered an extraordinary array of overseas speakers and put together a program that offers something for everyone across the entire special interest spectrum of our surgical discipline.

Adelaide of course offers a lot more than a scientific experience. As the wine capital of the country you are only 30 minutes from McLaren Vale or the Adelaide hills. Attractions like the Barossa and Clare Valleys or Kangaroo Island only 90 minutes from your hotel.

Join us for what will be a memorable week just before.

Michael Jay
ASOHNS President
