Experience the Annual Meeting
Your Academy Is Host to the World Welcome! Benvenuto! Bienvenida! Boa vinda! Herzlich wilkommen! Hos geldiniz! Karibu sana! Mabuhay! Selamat Datang! Soyez le bienvenue! For more than a century, the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation has stood at the forefront in developing innovative, evidence-based quality education for otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons and otolaryngologic healthcare professionals worldwide. Through the Annual Meeting & OTO EXPOSM, the AAO-HNSF sets the highest standards for otolaryngology education. Academy president Richard W. Waguespack, MD, welcomes U.S. and non-U.S. otolaryngologists alike, noting, “Our Academy mission is worldwide through its members. Aside from the 75 state and local societies in the U.S., there are 54 international corresponding societies around the world. Not only do these societies contribute to the Academy’s mission, they are also messengers of higher standards of medicine in the specialty for the nations of the world.” The AAO-HNSF extends a special invitation to otolaryngology professionals worldwide to join us in Orlando, Florida, for the 2014 Annual Meeting & OTO EXPOSM. Now in its 118th year, the AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons in the world, providing unparalleled access to groundbreaking research, new guidelines, and the latest advances in the specialty. With all the AAO-HNSF has to offer, it’s no wonder that Annual Meeting attendees unanimously report that the knowledge they take from the meeting positively influences their practices. 2013 Annual Meeting Attendees Report Alfred Sassler, MD, Cincinnati, OH “It is always good to learn about new research and new trends that may challenge what we thought to be true.” Michael Siegel, MD, Detroit, MI “I have attended 22 AAO-HNS Annual Meetings, and each one is better than the last.” Tripti K. Brar, MBBS, DNB, of New Delhi, India, reports, “The miniseminars and scientific sessions were highly informative and covered a vast array of topics. I took not only a lot of knowledge from the meeting, but also had the wonderful opportunity to establish professional relationships.” Kapil Sikka, MBBS, MS, DNB, also of New Delhi, India, especially appreciated the high quality of the instruction courses: “The Academy helped the fellows in training like me immensely by allowing the provision of complimentary instructional course tickets, which I utilized to maximum benefit by attending a large number of courses.” Andrew Scott, MD, Boston, MA Pediatric Otolaryngologist; Assistant Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine “I have already used the information in my clinical practice.” Exchange ideas and recharge your bond with our profession’s promise—all while discovering the latest innovations and resources for future growth. Use the connections you make and the knowledge you gain as a positive force in your career and for the health of your patients. Leading-Edge Medical City This year’s Annual Meeting will take place in Orlando, found in the “Sunshine State”—Florida. With countless entertainment, dining, and shopping options combined with year-round sunshine, Orlando is the perfect event destination. Orlando was recently ranked by the Healthcare Convention & Exhibitors Association as the No. 3 destination for medical meetings. With the arrival of the Lake Nona Medical City, Orlando is preparing for the medical meetings of the future. Inspired Attractions Orlando certainly knows how to entertain, with seven of the world’s Top 20 theme parks in one destination, not to mention nearly 100 additional attractions. After walking the tradeshow floor, a leisurely escape to a world of imagination and fantasy will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired.

The Scientific Oral Presentations and Miniseminars are included in the price of a full conference registration and take place starting at 10:30 am on Sunday and from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Monday through Wednesday. Scientific Oral Presentations—A series of five-minute oral presentations that will take place within either 50- or 80-minute topical sessions that focus on cutting-edge clinical and translational basic research aspects of otolaryngology. Miniseminars—Presentations, case studies, and/or interactive discussions that will provide an indepth, state-of-the-art look at a specific topic. Scientific Posters—About 400 posters will be on display in Hall C. Instruction Courses Experts in the field of otolaryngology and other healthcare professionals present Instruction Courses. Early registration for these one- or two-hour courses increases the possibility of receiving your first-choice selections and saves you money. Instruction Course fees are $50 an hour and $70 an hour for hands-on courses, if you register before August 22.

New Beginnings in 2014 The 2014 Annual Meeting lives up to its cutting-edge reputation with a series of exciting enhancements to the program crafted by the two program committees. Offering a richer experience for the participants, these enhancements compliment the traditional program our attendees have honored throughout the years. One of the most exciting revisions that will affect your travel plans is our change to the OTO EXPOSM and education program hours. Always respectful to your time out of the office and striving to maximize your experience, the OTO EXPOSM has been shortened to three influential days. The exhibit hall will now be open starting at 10:00 am on Sunday with its traditional grand opening and will close its doors at 3:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon. The education program also has undergone an overhaul. Concluding at noon on Wednesday, the last day of the Annual Meeting will feature a morning program of Miniseminars, Oral Presentations, and Instruction Courses. This last day of the meeting is sure to be a whirlwind of activity with more opportunities to enrich your experience than ever before. The Scientific Program features more opportunities for interaction. Now 25 percent of the Miniseminars will use audience response technology allowing you to respond to presenters’ questions and instantaneously view your colleagues’ answers. A few other highlights from the program include: The Martha Entenmann Tinnitus Research Center, Inc.: Abraham Shulman, MD and Barbara Goldstein, PhD; “Tinnitus Treatment Modalities and Neuromodulations: State of the Art 2014.” Moderated by Michael Hoffer, MD; and presented by Michael D. Seidman, MD; Abraham Shulman, MD; Richard Tyler, MD; Berthold Langguth, MD; and Tobias Kleinjung, MD, will speak to the neurobiology for all clinical types of tinnitus that is emerging and reflecting advances in the basic science and neuroscience of brain and brain function and the cochleovestibular system. As tinnitus types begin to be objectively identified in treatment, modalities can be applied in a more precise manner. The goal of this Miniseminar this to examine new and existing tinnitus specifically, in reference to how to apply these techniques of the different tinnitus types. Surgery, intratympanic treatment, neuromodualtion, and magnetic stimulation will all be examined allowing the participants to understand the cutting edge of tinnitus therapy. “The HPV Head and Neck Cancer Epidemic: What You Need to Know,” moderated by Christin G. Gourin, MD and presented by Maie St. John, MD, Eduardo Mendez, MD, MS, Harry Quon, MD, and Mariam N. Lango, MD, will address the HPV-associated head and neck cancer as an epidemic striking a younger and healthier population without the usual risk factors for head and neck cancer. Most patients have an excellent prognosis following treatment with surgery or chemoradiation, and the sequel of long-term morbidity from treatment are of increasing concern as patients are expected to live long enough to experience complications. Failure to identify a subset of high risk patients at risk for metastasis, recurrence, and decreased survival can lead to under treatment and poor outcomes. This Miniseminar will discuss the epidemiology, workup, treatment, and surveillance of HPV+ head and neck cancer. The Instruction Course program includes three MOC Review Courses—”Head and Neck Surgery,” “Rhinology,” and “General Otolaryngology.” These extended courses, two- and three-hours long, meet MOC Part III requirements. The program also features a Clinical Fundamental track complying with MOC Part III requirements to meet your recertification needs. Responding to your requests for additional hands-on opportunities, we’ve added an additional hands-on room this year that will give you ample time to interact with expert faculty while participating in cutting-edge demonstrations. “ACS Ultrasound Course: Thyroid and Parathyroid Ultrasound Skills‐Oriented Course” with Robert A. Sofferman, MD, course director, will take place from 8:00 am-4:30 pm Saturday, September 20. Additional fees apply. Bringing the Best Together Because our meeting is the largest gathering of otolaryngologists worldwide—about 40 percent of physician attendees are international, coming from 90 or more countries—we do all we can to make it user-friendly for our many international visitors. Guyan A. Channer, MD, of Kingston, Jamaica, says, “I was particularly impressed with the meeting’s technological resources, where I seamlessly pre-planned my daily schedule using wireless apps and made contact with various manufacturers.” Professor Yongxiang Wei, MD, of Shenyang, China, adds, “Professional website, free Wi-Fi, accommodations, information and food services, traffic, technique support for audios and videos et al., were all very well organized.” Education Program Is Truly International International presenters are a huge part of the meeting’s educational program: a stated goal of the meeting is “to develop a broader understanding of approaches used in the practice of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery in countries outside the U.S.” International submissions for miniseminars and oral and poster presentations participate on an equal footing in the peer-reviewed process. Our Scientific Program is a venue for the many international presenters for both oral presentations and posters. The program provides a platform for new collaborative activities, such as our participation in the Cochrane Collaborative on Evidence Based Medicine. OTO EXPOSM—A Better Mousetrap As the adage says, “Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door,” so specialists from around the world flock to our OTO EXPOSM to examine, test, and compare the myriad products and services on display. Hideaki Moteki, MD, PhD, of Matsumoto, Japan observed, “In the OTO EXPO, there were a huge number of booths and products, and I was very excited about seeing advanced products that I had never seen before.” Experience It for Yourself In sum, no other otolaryngology meeting in the world compares to the number and variety of attendees that the Annual Meeting attracts. With its multidisciplinary focus, the education offered draws attendees from across the health spectrum and from around the world. They all belong to a worldwide community whose goal is to provide the best patient care. Your Academy is more than a national professional association; it is your global network working for the best ear, nose, and throat care. Join us in Orlando for this unrivaled experience.
