Kind regards ASOHNS Registration Team ASOHNS ASM2025 Registrations are now open President's Invitation On behalf of ASOHNS , it is my pleasure to invite you to the 75th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery to be held at the iconic International Convention Centre, Sydney from Friday March 28th to Sunday, March 30th, 2025. Under the leadership of Megan Hobson as Convener and Julia Crawford as Scientific Convener, the organising committee have prepared a dynamic program that will feature renowned local and international experts sharing invaluable insights and advancements in otolaryngology, head, and neck surgery. Attendees can also participate in interactive workshops and hands-on sessions organised by leading practitioners, offering practical skills and techniques that can help improve your practice and enhance patient care. The OHN Nurses Group will run sessions parallel to the main congress program that promise to be extremely informative as well. The 75th ASOHNS Annual Scientific Meeting promises to be a highlight of the otolaryngology year, providing opportunities for education, networking, and camaraderie. Moreover, Sydney, with its iconic landmarks, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality, provides the perfect backdrop for this gathering. Perhaps even consider extending your time in the city to further enjoy its cosmopolitan charm and beautiful beaches. Please reserve the dates of March 28–30, 2025, in your calendar. We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney for the ASOHNS Conference 2025. ASM 2020 - CONVERTING TO A VIRTUAL CONFERENCE The Annual Scientific Meeting as a face-to-face conference cannot go ahead as planned. The risk of delegates acquiring COVID-19 is low, but real. The risk of holding the conference is likely the same in Sydney as anywhere else in Australia. However, the risk of a delegate being exposed to COVID-19 at the conference could result in 75% of the ENT’s in Australia and most, if not all, trainees potentially being quarantined for at least 2 weeks. This would be devastating for the healthcare of Australia particularly with the potential problems if the virus does accelerate as predicted. Therefore, ASOHNS’ Council Federal Executive have made the difficult decision to cancel the face-to-face conference and the Conveners have proposed to take steps to convert the conference in Sydney to a virtual congress. The course content will be captured onsite or remotely over the March 13-15th dates. All those who were presenting will have the opportunity to present their work. Presentations will be collated for broadcast and online access prior to 31 May 2020. We will be spending the coming days, the dates of the meeting 13-15 March 2020 and a couple of weeks of editing, to deliver an outstanding virtual conference with all the scientific content planned. Details of how to provide your presentation will be sent separately to all presenters. The valuable preparation and scientific material will still occur on the conference dates as planned, but without any delegates. The online material will be available to all ASOHNS members, trainees and delegates for the purposes of CPD and scientific benefit. Registration fees to delegates will be refunded upon request to RACS Events management after 15 March 2020. We will liaise the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons regarding CPD. If you were scheduled to present at the conference, you will receive a separate email regarding how to submit your presentation, either in person at the ICC, or electronically. We thank you for your patience and understanding at this time. If you have a general enquiry, please send to info@asohns.org.au with the Subject line “ASM 2020 Virtual Congress” We will endeavour to respond within 48 hours. Registration enquiries should be sent to asohnsasm@surgeons.org ASOHNS ADVISER ON DIVERSITY Following the March ASOHNS Council meeting a new co-opted, honorary position of Advisor on Diversity was created on the ASOHNS Council. We thank all our members who took the time to submit an Expression of Interest. The selection sub-committee were extremely pleased with the calibre of candidates, and their experience and willingness to take on the role. It is with great pleasure the ASOHNS Federal Council would like to announce that Dr Bridget Clancy FRACS (Victoria) has been offered and accepted the role. The Advisor on Diversity will attend Council Meetings and be involved with the oversight and implementation of diversity and inclusion across the society's activities, including Board activities (selection and training), member activities and annual scientific meetings.
