Egyptian-International Otolaryngology Congress 2008

Dear Colleagues:

It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the 2008 Ain Shams University and Egyptian Society of ENT and Allied Sciences Otolaryngology Congress to be held in Luxor on March 12-15, 2008. The conference is organized by the Otolaryngology department of Ain Shams University, Egypt [ASU] and the Egyptian Society of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences [ESENTAS] in collaboration with the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery [AAO-HNS]

We chose the city of Luxor because of its treasures of ancient Egyptian archeological sites and its beautiful location on the majestic Nile River. Luxor is an excellent site to combine a scientific meeting with culture, history and beautiful scenery.

The congress is intended to provide several instructional courses with free paper presentations in the fields of Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Audiology and Phoniatrics. The faculty will be international guest speakers as well as national Egyptian speakers in a scientific program that will be carefully synchronized with the cultural tours and activities in Luxor. The theme of the congress is “Excellence in ORL”, the idea is to provide the most recent advances and technology in our specialty and integrate that with skills in order to obtain excellent outcomes for our patients. The congress will also focus on the improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities by encouraging the presentation of basic science research in our field.

The scientific program is accredited by the American Academy of Continuous Medical Education [AACME].

I hope both the scientific and cultural program will make the congress a memorable event and we also promise you we will make the greatest effort to make this congress the memorable event that you are waiting for.
