You are cordially invited to attend Rhinology World 2009. This major international meeting will combine the International Rhinologic Soci-ety (IRS) meeting with the International Symposium on Infection and Allergy of the Nose (ISIAN), the spring meeting of the American Rhino-logical Society (ARS) and basic allergy course of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy (AAOA). This promises to be one of the world’s largest gatherings of rhinologists and skull base surgeons, and a landmark event. The meeting will be a springboard for advances in patient care and scientific discoveries, and will provide ample opportunity for friendship and scholarly interaction.

The program incorporates rhinology, allergy, skull base surgery and facial plastic surgery. Each day, the tone will be set by a plenary talk and round table discussion from some of the distinguished international facul-ty. Thereafter, parallel sessions each day will include mini-seminars, scien-tific paper presentations, instructional courses, “great debates” and product exhibits. There will be live demonstration dissections and the opportunity for participants to take part in hands-on cadaver dissections with instruc-tion by international experts for different rhinologic procedures. Finally, there will also be an interactive resident knowledge-bowl competition with significant monetary awards to both the winning individuals and to their sponsoring programs. Residency training programs or countries are invited to submit their teams for this event.

The city of Philadelphia, also known as the city of “brotherly love,” is the perfect setting for this historic meeting. Home to the Liberty Bell, and to Independence Hall where the United States Constitution was drafted in 1787, Philadelphia is famous not only for its history but also for its science, art and culture. The hotels chosen are conveniently located within walking distance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Rodin Museum, the Frank-lin Institute and the Academy of Natural Sciences. A companion social pro-gram will underscore the historical and cultural possibilities in the City of Philadelphia and will include pre- and post-meeting tours to New York City and Washington, DC, designed especially with our international visitors in mind. In addition to a Welcome Reception at the Sheraton Hotel, a Gala Dinner will be hosted by Nancy L. Snyderman, MD at the Constitution Cen-ter. This center brings to life some of the important history of our nation.

We hope that you will join us, the societies and all of the faculty who have helped to put together this exciting opportunity to gain further knowledge in the field while enjoying the social interaction and historic Philadelphia. We believe it will be a most worthwhile meeting and a truly memorable experience. Please note that space in some of the sessions is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis, so early registration is highly recommended.
