ESPO 2025 17th Congress of the European Society of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology
2025-05-03 08:00 - 2025-05-06 17:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Queensland
View program here – https://www.espo2025.com/programme
Stuttgart warmly welcomes all participants of ESPO 2025!
Our congress motto “Creating innovations – implementing innovations” is intended to underline on the one hand how important it continues to be to develop new processes and techniques for the benefit of our patients. But it should also make clear that it has probably become more difficult than in the past to integrate these successful innovations into everyday clinical practice across the board and at a high level. In addition to the increasingly noticeable financial constraints, administrative and regulatory limitations are making themselves felt, which require a lot of time and energy. If we want to represent the interests of our patients in the best possible way, agreement on our goals and a close exchange on the ways to achieve them are the best starting position. To this end, with the help of an outstanding international faculty, we will once again put together a diverse, carefully coordinated scientific programme that will cover all aspects of paediatric ORL. In addition to the latest developments in airway surgery, hearing implants and endoscopic procedures, the increasingly important influence of digitalisation and artificial intelligence will be addressed. A special focus will be on imparting knowledge and practical skills, both through numerous courses and keynote lectures as well as an extensive simulation programme.
We are therefore very pleased to welcome ESPO to Germany for the first time! Stuttgart is a modern and culturally diverse major city in the scenically and climatically privileged southwest of Germany, which forms the centre of one of the economically strongest metropolitan regions in the country. The accessibility of the city and the international congress centre are excellent and make it possible to get to know the diverse attractions of the city and the region. Last but not least an exiting social programme will await you and will provide many possibilities for communication and networking.
On behalf of the ESPO2025 Programme Committee, we look forward to meeting you in 2025!

ANZSPO 2026 Annual Conference
2026-10-09 12:30 - 2026-10-11 17:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas, Sunshine Coast, 33A Viewland Dr, Noosa Heads, Queensland, 4567, Australia
Dear Colleagues
It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2026 ANZSPO Members’ Conference in Noosa, October 9-11.
Our annual members’ conference remains one of the most valuable forums in our calendar — a deliberately small, discussion-driven gathering that allows us to explore complex clinical scenarios, controversies and emerging advances in paediatric otolaryngology in a candid and collegial environment.
This year, the conference will follow directly on from the Brisbane Airway Course, which is also open to ANZSPO members and fellows as either attendees or faculty. The sequencing provides a valuable opportunity to extend the academic discussions from the airway course into the broader subspecialty conversations that define our members’ conference.
I am delighted this year’s academic convenors are Dr Emily Perry and Dr Alex Treble, who are curating a thoughtful and contemporary program.
As always, the strength of ANZSPO lies in the room — in the willingness of members to present difficult cases, share complications, challenge assumptions and reflect honestly on practice. I warmly encourage you to reach out to Emily or Alex if you have cases, controversies, research updates, or emerging topics you would like to contribute. This conference is built by members, for members.
The conference will be held at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas, providing an ideal environment for both focused academic discussion and informal collegial connection. Transfers to Noosa can be coordinated through Consec, our longstanding and highly experienced conference organising team, to ensure smooth travel logistics for those attending from interstate or internationally. Our conference dinner will be held at Spirit House, one of the region’s most celebrated dining venues, and coordinated transfers will be arranged for those who require them. We will also continue the tradition of the informal morning walk, followed by breakfast — a valued opportunity to connect with colleagues in a relaxed setting before commencing the day’s academic sessions.
Beyond the scientific sessions, this conference advances our broader mission: strengthening paediatric otolaryngology across Australia and New Zealand, fostering meaningful research collaboration and sustaining excellence in training for the next generation of specialists. Fellows and new members are warmly encouraged to attend. The AGM on Sunday will provide an opportunity to formally nominate new colleagues into ANZSPO, reinforcing the growth and continuity of our community.
I strongly encourage you to prioritise attendance. Your presence, your cases and your perspective are what make this conference exceptional.
I look forward to seeing you in Noosa.
Warm regards
Hannah
Dr Hannah Burns
President, ANZSPO
