19th INTERNATIONAL ENT MEETING

Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgeons WORLDWIDE are

invited to attend the 19th Upover-Downunder Meeting
Alba di Canazei, Italy - January 14-21, 2023

Snow Invitation Upover-Downunder

It gives me great pleasure to advise that the 19th Upover-Downunder Meeting will be held from January 14th to the 21st 2023 at Hotel La Cacciatora, in the town of Alba di Canazei.

The Dolomites are a World Heritage listed site and rivals any other place in the world for its beauty, diversity in landscape as well as its geological and geomorphological significance.

This is a great opportunity to renew old friendships, to make new friendships to learn from the Master Surgeons and to enjoy the snow with the lift systems just outside the front door at the wonderful Hotel La Cacciatora.

This Hotel is world famous for its hospitality, cuisine, and recreational facilities.

I look forward very much to greeting you and wish to encourage those who are willing to offer papers for our academic sessions which go from 4:30pm – 7:00pm each day.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Best Wishes,
Bill Coman

"For the past 5 years I have attended the meeting despite the availability of many closer meetings in the United States. The Otolaryngologists who attend this Upover-Downunder ENT meeting are intellectually honest, clinically provocative, thoroughly immersed in furthering the science of medicine.After attending medical conferences for the past 37 years, it is easily the most interactive series that I have ever attended."

"The education experience is superb. People come off the snow early and in a collegiate atmosphere exchange ideas and giving papers and presentations which they often have not given before. They bounce ideas off the group and in this relaxed atmosphere you get more critique of your papers with good feedback. Because the papers are state of the art, people who attend the meeting do go to all of the sessions." Read more...

"This meeting has always been the highlight of my yearly academic program. The informal nature of the meeting means that guest speakers are encouraged to present papers that are practical in nature and can expect a vigorous discussion. The diversity of the faculty with guest speakers from throughout Europe and USA allows me an insight into my own practice here in Australia." Read more...

"As a member of the Upover - Downunder team for some 13 or is it 14 years I feel I must write to congratulate you on such an extraordinary meeting. Egos are set aside, the discussions around difficult cases and our surgical failures are excellent, let’s face it , who wants to hear about how thousands of cases were handled brilliantly. What a bore ! We all get it wrong sometimes!" Read more...

"For years, the International ENT ski meeting in the dolomites has been a highlight in my life. The setting is gorgeous and the landscape is breathtaking, but what is most, the atmosphere within the group of attendants is just outstanding. It feels like being together with a large group of dear friends from different countries, who share their opinions and expertise with each other on a very friendly yet highly professional level. Each year I get back from these meetings with my head full of new ideas and insights into ORL-related topics."

"The 2020 Upover Downunder was one of the best educational events ever, with many excellent presentations on a diverse range of topics, each instigating really valuable open discussion."
