Dear CEORL-HNS members,

Spring is here! The Royal Belgian Society for Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (B-ORL) is ready to meet, network and collaborate with our European and Global Colleagues at the fantastic CEORL-HNS Gothenburg meeting in April!

The passion for our beautiful specialty and our Belgian drive is also reflected in our  B-ORL Spring Meeting 2026 on March 14, 2026 in Brussels, where the Belgian Research Groups present the developments in their department and their research progress in 83 contributions!!!

Upcoming is the B-ORL Fall Meeting 2026 will take place on September 4- 5, at Gasthuisberg University Hospitals Leuven, with the theme "ORLHNS as a multidisciplinary team player." Thanks to all your and our efforts, ORLHNS is constantly improving, yet more complex, increasingly relying on other specialties, and they on us, to optimally address a specific patient's problem. All this in an atmosphere of collegiality and preferably friendship (cranial base surgery, sleep medicine, head and neck oncology, respiratory medicine, aesthetic medicine, endocrine surgery, multidisciplinary vestibular medicine, etc.). This conference will bring together top speakers from our field with top speakers from other disciplines —covering all areas of multidisciplinary collaboration. This way, you, the ORL HNS doctor, will be fully updated on every aspect where multidisciplinary collaboration pushes the boundaries

See you all in Brussels, Gothenburg and Leuven!
