31st Turkish National Ear Nose Throat and Head and Neck Surgery Congress

Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to invite you to the 31st Turkish National Congress of Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery to be held between October 28^th and November 1^st, 2009 in Antalya.

In order to prepare a scientific feast catering to different tastes, the topics are selected in a way to reflect current issues, problems and practical solution proposals for the daily practice. To this end, in total, 9 morning discussions, numerous conferences, 12 panels and 12 round table meetings are included in the scientific program. Numerous free presentation sessions, educational courses of the Turkish ENT Foundation and ENT Nursing sessions will enrich our congress as well. Best presentations and posters to be selected will be awarded. In addition, participation expenses of two residents from each educational institution will be paid by our society.

Many international speakers, participating from a variety of continents, will further enrich our program by sharing their experiences with us. Our 10th Joint Meeting with our Greek colleagues and the 4^th ENT Nursing Congress, both of which will be realized simultaneously within our congress, will strengthen bridges between our countries and within our specialty.

We are preparing a variety of surprises for you within the congress social program, by keeping in mind that one of the biggest gains of scientific meetings is established and reinforced friendships.

Looking forward to enjoying ourselves at all times during our feast as we breathe in deeply the air brought by the gentle breezes of Izmir to the Mediterranean Sea on beautiful autumn evenings.

Best regards,
Prof. Dr. Kerim CERYAN
President of the 31^st Turkish National Congress of Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
