As you are undoubtedly aware, the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to the cancellation of many large public gatherings across the U.S. and around the world for the foreseeable future. The AAO-HNS/F Executive Committee determined, based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recent recommendations for in-person events, that the most prudent action is to cancel the 2020 Leadership Forum & BOG Spring Meeting. The Board of Directors meeting, scheduled during the Leadership Forum, will be held virtually, with additional details to be sent to board members in a separate email.

Your Leadership Forum & BOG Spring Meeting registration will be cancelled automatically. You should immediately cancel your hotel reservation to avoid any potential cancellation penalties. In addition, contact your air carrier to cancel your flight reservation and determine if the airline is offering change fee waivers, vouchers for future travel, or refunds for cancellations due to the ongoing outbreak.

If you have questions regarding the cancellation of the 2020 Leadership Forum & BOG Spring Meeting, email bog@entnet.org.
