Every year, we look forward to the Annual Rhinology Conference: the biggest rhinology event in the region that brings expertise and practitioners together in an atmosphere full of innovation and enterprise. In 2011, the main theme of the Conference is "The State of the Art in Endoscopic Sinonasal Surgery”.

It is our great honor to announce that the Egyptian Rhinology Group has won the bid for the IRS 2013 (International Rhinology Society) in addition to ISIAN 2013 [the International Symposium of Infection and Allergy of the Nose].آ This prestigious annual conference is considered the biggest annual international Rhinology Gathering all over the world. It will be held in Sharm Al-Sheikh in October 2013 for the first time in the Middle East and/or Africa.

Moreover it will be a good chance to announce the establishment of the PARS (Pan Arab Rhinology Society). This society aims at enhancing the CME program in the field of Rhinology in the region.

This year, we are privileged to have Professor Stil Kountakis (USA) and Professor S. James Zinreich (USA) in addition to all the key rhinologists from Egypt and Arab Countries. The state of the art in sinonasal endoscopic surgery: basic, advanced, extended and beyond will be discussed. The two-day conference will be followed by one day of instruction courses.

Three valuable prizes (sinonasal endoscopy forceps) will be offered to the best presentations amongst young researches. 

Participants will have the chance to take an active role in the discussion during the meeting and the post conference instruction courses.

It is truly an event that should not be missed. Welcome to Rhinology 2011.
