Dear friends & supporters of Europ. ENT,
Jan Plzák the President of the Confederation and I wish to welcome you to the 8th meeting of CEORL-HNS in Gothenburg. The bi-annual meeting of “the Confederation” has grown into the largest ENT meeting in Europe uniting all subspecialties and bringing us all together.
The meeting in Dublin was a huge success with excellent attendance not only from Europe but also from all over the world. Since then, we have added several new co-opted societies from far away adding to our international outreach. Thus, we now represent 43 European member states, 15 subspecialities (EACCI-ENT Section, EAFPS, EAONO, EASM, EFAS, EGFL, EHNS, ELS, ERS, ESBS, ESPO, ESSD, MSGS, UEP and the Young Confederation), 4 affiliated members and our co-opted members from around the globe.
In Dublin, the meeting gathered 3395 participants from 90 different countries, who came together to discuss, learn and share new ideas. We also had the pleasure of welcoming 62 sponsoring & exhibiting companies along with 433 industry representatives in an inspiring exhibition.
Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden, is situated by the western coast surrounded by stunning scenery and l known for being one of the most “humoristic and chill” places in Sweden. There is even a unique brand of “Gothenburg jokes” that are widely shared! Gothenburg is easily accessible through an international airport, trains and ferries.
In Gothenburg, the convention centre is located in the city centre, within walking distance of everything you need. The area includes a Headquarter hotel directly connected to the venue with rooms at various price points and an extensive, spacious exhibition area. The total exhibition space is 787sqm.
The scientific program is co-ordinated by Professor Linda Marklund from Uppsala, Professor Per Cayé-Thomasen from Copenhagen and Doctor Rusana Bark from Stockholm with a firm support from the Subspecialty societies, National societies and of course a strong and dedicated scientific core committee.
We hope you will join us in Gothenburg, meeting ENTs from around the world.
Jan Plzák, President
Confederation of European ORL-HNS
