Organised by Informa Markets in collaboration with the Middle East Academy of Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery, ME-OTO is the perfect opportunity for all otolaryngology healthcare professionals to stay abreast of the speciality’s latest trends and advancements. This theme is, therefore, particularly timely as the discipline continues to evolve with the emergence of new technologies, treatment options and advanced scientific knowledge.
As the largest and longest-running educational meeting for Otolaryngologists and allied healthcare providers in the Middle East, the 2020 edition of the event will see the participation of more than 700 Otolaryngologists, Physicians, allied healthcare professionals, professional societies and solution providers. It will also feature more international speakers from the U.S., Europe, Asia and the GCC region.

The 17th edition of the conference, he added, “also has tracks for otology & neurotology, cochlear implants, facial plastic surgery, and audiology & speech pathology. In addition, the conference will also offer an opportunity to the young Otolaryngologists to present their research within a dedicated track.”
The Audiology and Speech track in the upcoming ME-OTO conference will be a very rich programme “focusing on the challenges faced in clinical practice and how to overcome them through high-quality research and clinical expertise,” stated Alfarghal Mohamad, MD, AuD, Consultant Audiovestibular Medicine, King Abdul Aziz Medical City, Jeddah and Chair of the Audio and Speech Pathology Conference at ME-OTO.

Lectures, panel discussions and hands-on workshops with distinguished speakers will be a key highlight of the Audiology and Speech Pathology track, he added.
