At the end of Dec. 2021 the Canadian ORL society announced that they would not organize the IFOS Congress in Vancouver in June 2022.

There were several serious reasons for this decision and we had to accept it.

After discussing the problem with the IFOS Executive Committee members the IFOS Board has decided to move the IFOS Congress to Dubai on January 16-21, 2023.

The UAE ORL Society and GCC countries accepted our proposal. Immediately the Scientific Committee started the congress program preparation. One year is a really short time to prepare the Congress so we have to work really hard to complete an attractive scientific program which is crucial for the Congress success.
