Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we extend this invitation for you to join us at the 69th annual ASOHNS meeting. The meeting will be held in Brisbane from 22 – 24 March 2019.
Plans are well underway to ensure that the meeting will offer something for all the varied interests of our specialty. As always there will be an emphasis on cutting edge techniques, technology and science, along with practical knowledge for general ENT surgical practice
and for those in training.
The organising committee have arranged an exciting array of international guest speakers to complement our local expertise. A Paediatric airway course is being planned as a satellite meeting prior to the main meeting.
ASOHNS 2019 will be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre at South Bank. March is a fantastic time to enjoy the warm weather and everything that Brisbane and Queensland has to offer.
We look forward to seeing you in Brisbane in March 2019.
