Welcome!

Now in its 116th year, the Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO is “the world’s largest gathering of otolaryngologists.” Held each fall, the Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO provides an opportunity for thousands of Academy members, non-member physicians, allied health professionals, administrators, and exhibiting companies to convene. It draws more than 6,000 medical experts and professionals from around the world and features instruction courses, miniseminars, scientific oral presentations, honorary guest lectures, and numerous scientific posters.

DC’s neighborhoods tempt visitors with chic boutiques, hip new restaurants and bars, world-class theaters, art galleries and peaceful parks and gardens.
