World Tours / Summits

  • An innovative Global Continuing Medical Education program, “The IFHNOS World Tour” program was introduced in 2008, offering a two and half day conference conducted by World leaders in the Head and Neck specialties, over 4-5 weeks. This program has been offered in 34 locations around the world, including London, Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Warsaw, Moscow, Mumbai, Beijing, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Bogota, St. Petersburg, Frankfurt, Antalya, Bangalore, Manila, Shanghai, Mexico City, Kiev, Amsterdam, Cairo, Ahmedabad, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Brisbane, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Prague, Riyadh, Delhi, Seoul, Hong Kong, Auckland, Rio de Janeiro, Sharm El Sheikh, Sydney, Kaohsiung, Santiago, Birmingham, Kolkata, Milan, Chennai, Nur-Sultan, Leuven.

    These programs conducted initially every other year and later every year have been very successful. Due to Covid pandemic, they had to be suspended in 2020. However in 2021 and 2022, these programs were conducted virtually in the Eastern and Western hemispheres. With the settling down of the Covid Pandemic it is now time to restart these programs.

    Due to the changing environment in the post covid time, IFHNOS has decided to convert the “World Tour” program in to “Head and Neck Cancer Summit”. The Summits will be conducted twice a year, in the winter / spring and summer / fall, in different parts of the world. The Summits are planned each year in the intervening years between the world congresses of IFHNOS. These programs will be similar, of 2-2.5 days duration, and will consist of didactic presentations by the touring faculty, tumor boards and video presentations of surgical techniques. In 2024, they are planned in Chennai, India (Feb. 16-18, 2024) and Sao Paulo, Brazil (August, 28-31, 2024). In 2025, they are planned in Dubai (February 2025) and Dublin (August 2025).

  • Current Concepts in Head & Neck Surgery & Oncology

    After six very successful World Tour Programs in 2008, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the International Federation of Head and Neck Oncologic Societies is again offering a global continuing medical education program featuring the most respected leaders in the field of Head & Neck surgery and oncology. This worldwide program will cover locations in a sequence (shown below). Future programs will cover other parts of the world. Nations are clustered into regions to offer easy access to as many individuals as possible at each session. The program will provide state-of-art knowledge and explore the frontiers of Head and Neck cancer diagnosis and treatment through introductory lectures, intense interactive discussions with regional specialists through case presentations, and demonstration of operative techniques through video sessions. Ample opportunity for discussion between the local faculty, attendees and the traveling faculty will be provided.
