Snow Invitation Upover-Downunder
Dear Friends and Colleagues
Welcome to the 20th anniversary of the upover-downunder ENT meeting.
After an enforced Covid break of two years we have the opportunity to meet again, renew our friendships, to learn from each other, taste the culinary delights, take in the beautiful scenery and venture onto the ski slopes of the Dolomites.
I am so excited to see familiar faces and to learn from my very best friends. I do hope you enjoy the week ahead, of learning with good camaraderie and the company of old and new friends.
Best Wishes and Warm Welcome

Testimonials & Reviews
Review 2020
The 2020 Meeting which was the seventeenth meeting of the Upover Downunder group was held in Canazei from the 18th to the 25th of January, 2020. There were over 70 participants at this meeting. The academic program standard was excellent.
Review 2019
The beautiful Hotel La Cacciatora in Canazei Italy was the scene for the 16th Upover Downunder Meeting in the specialty for Otolaryngology / Head Neck Surgery. The contributions of the new attendees at the meeting was outstanding and gratefully received. Of course Prof. Andreas Leunig from Munich is the benchmark presenter, skier, photographer and catalyst for social integration.
Review 2018
The upover downunder Meeting was held again at the beautiful Hotel La Cacciatora in Canazei Italy. It was a beautiful scene where old and new friends came together for the specialty of ENT. The academic program for the meeting was excellent due to the willingness of attendees to present papers and participate in discussions.
