When saying Goodbye at the closing ceremony in Paris 2017 one would not believe what the
future would bring. The perspective of the IFOS congresses and training and educational
activities looked so promising and perfect, and our Canadian friends celebrated their
victory. The Covid period has changed everything.
......
The international and internal Canadian situation did not allow the IFOS Congress to be
organised in June 2022. After intensive discussion the IFOS Board has decided to move
the congress to Dubai for the period January 17-21, 2023. So, the baton of the IFOS
Congress organization has been passed to Hussain Al Rand, President of the United Arab
Emirates ORL HN Society. The Congress Scientific Committee supported by the best experts
from the Gulf region together in cooperation with IFOS subspeciality chairpersons, YO
IFOS group, French and Canadian colleagues have a great responsibility to prepare
successful IFOS Congress 2023.
It will be a different IFOS congress from the Paris one. Not better, not worse - simply
different. In principle the IFOS Congress will always be the gathering of experts from
all over the world with round tables, panels, instructional courses, oral presentations,
posters, movies etc. But each organizer and all participants inoculate a different
atmosphere, personal contribution which makes the IFOS Congress so unique, diverse, and
different from the previous meetings.
The time for the high-level scientific program preparation is significantly
shorter than for other IFOS Congresses. We have regular meetings with the Congress
Organization and Scientific committee, and I can see how much effort is being invested
to reach the goal: the unique IFOS world ORL congress in Dubai 2023. Each single detail
has been discussed regarding the personal communication, scientific program, social
program, modern technologies, education, and training. I have no doubt that in the
period 17-21 of January 2023 all of you who plan to come to Dubai for the IFOS 2023 will
appreciate this effort and activities of the UAE, GCC and international colleagues to
prepare attractive program and the friendly milieu for gathering otorhinolaryngologists
from all over the world.
It is my great pleasure to invite you all from each continent Africa, America
(Central, North and South), Asia, and Europe to meet in Dubai, in the Capital of the ORL
World 2023.

“Connecting Minds, Creating a Future for a better tomorrow” and I look forward to
learning the update from the International faculties on these topics and everything else
that is presented. We are indeed in a time of great innovation in Medical Field, so come
