VIRTUAL MEETING

WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear colleagues and friends,

I cordially invite you to the ELS Virtual Meeting. Join our attractive and up-to-date sessions on one
content-packed day with our partner companies ABEA, BLA, ELS and ESPO.

Enriched by contributions from international speakers, we will have excellent and representative sci-
entific presentations, covering important aspects of modern laryngology in surgical and non-surgical
areas. This virtual event will provide a platform to listen, to engage with experts and excellent speakers
and discuss the latest innovations.

Due to the current situation, the 13th Congress of the European Laryngological Society will be post-
poned. Therefore, it is a special pleasure for me to invite you to our virtual update.

Cordially yours,
Prof. Christian Sittel
President of the European Laryngological Society
