Under the leadership of our President, Carol R. Bradford, MD, MS, the AAO-HNSF has been committed to holding an in-person Annual Meeting & OTO Experience in Los Angeles to celebrate our 125th anniversary. Annual Meeting Program Coordinator, Daniel C. Chelius, Jr., MD, and the Annual Meeting Program Committee have done a fabulous job preparing the hybrid meeting that will include a number of innovative features this year. We received official notification from the authorities in California and Los Angeles that large-scale medical meetings will be open for full attendance this fall. This includes both domestic and international attendees. To ensure the best safety possible for our attendees, staff, and local personnel, we will be employing the services of CLEAR to manage COVID-19 precautions, documentation, and testing issues. Our whole team is very excited to forward this welcome news as we emerge from the pandemic in what will be the first specialty-wide in-person meeting over the last two years. Please join us for a state-of-the art scientific program and the camaraderie and fellowship with your colleagues.
