The British Academic Conference of Otolaryngology has long been the event that showcases British and Irish Otolaryngology. The programme has always aimed to cover the full breath of our specialty and this has proven to be an increasing challenge in recent years due to the unprecedented development our field has experienced. Pleased to announce BACO 2020 will be in collaboration with the AAO-HNS.
Registration opens in September!
Submissions for oral and poster presentation abstracts and instructional sessions are now open for BACO 2020! The largest ENT conference in the UK, BACO 2020 will take place 8-10 July at the ICC in Birmingham, the UK’s second city, situated at the heart of the English Midlands.
The oral and poster presentations and instructional sessions constitute an excellent opportunity for those working in the field of ENT to share their research with a wide audience of interested and highly knowledgeable peers from across Britain and around the world.
