Invitation from Bill Coman

Dear colleagues

As we are unable to have our regular meeting in Canazei, due to the Covid-virus. We are having a webinar seminar, the initiative of Professor Andreas Leunig in Munich on January 16th 2021. This will be a three hour seminar, to keep us updated on our speciality.

I do wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope we will all be able to enjoy the pleasure of each other’s company in Canazei, in the snow, in 2022. Grab the vaccine when it’s offered.

Best Wishes,
Bill

Thank you from Bill Coman

Dear colleagues

A very much needed thank you to all of those who attended our Upover Downunder Zoom-conference in January 2021. Although we were all at home and unable to enjoy in person friendship and comradery and the beautiful serenity of the Dolomites, we still were able to enjoy the brilliant and interesting presentations from our audience of nearly 60. Can you believe that this was the 18th Upover Downunder?

I would like to personally thank Andreas Leunig and his supportive team managed by Stefan Wilhelm for helping me with setting this up. It truly was great to see familiar faces and hear familiar voices.

It looks promising that our 19th Upover Downunder meeting will be on track to be held in the beautiful La Cacciatora Canazei next year. I bare great news of our most diligent and loyal driver Franko of his recovering from his brush of death and of beating the Covid -19 virus. After all we have endured, we will all be stronger, faster skiers and brighter people.

I am sure, as I know I will, that we will all appreciate each other more.

Best Wishes
Bill

"For the past 5 years I have attended the meeting despite the availability of many closer meetings in the United States. The Otolaryngologists who attend this Upover-Downunder ENT meeting are intellectually honest, clinically provocative, thoroughly immersed in furthering the science of medicine.After attending medical conferences for the past 37 years, it is easily the most interactive series that I have ever attended."

"The education experience is superb. People come off the snow early and in a collegiate atmosphere exchange ideas and giving papers and presentations which they often have not given before. They bounce ideas off the group and in this relaxed atmosphere you get more critique of your papers with good feedback. Because the papers are state of the art, people who attend the meeting do go to all of the sessions." Read more...

"This meeting has always been the highlight of my yearly academic program. The informal nature of the meeting means that guest speakers are encouraged to present papers that are practical in nature and can expect a vigorous discussion. The diversity of the faculty with guest speakers from throughout Europe and USA allows me an insight into my own practice here in Australia." Read more...

"As a member of the Upover - Downunder team for some 13 or is it 14 years I feel I must write to congratulate you on such an extraordinary meeting. Egos are set aside, the discussions around difficult cases and our surgical failures are excellent, let’s face it , who wants to hear about how thousands of cases were handled brilliantly. What a bore ! We all get it wrong sometimes!" Read more...

"For years, the International ENT ski meeting in the dolomites has been a highlight in my life. The setting is gorgeous and the landscape is breathtaking, but what is most, the atmosphere within the group of attendants is just outstanding. It feels like being together with a large group of dear friends from different countries, who share their opinions and expertise with each other on a very friendly yet highly professional level. Each year I get back from these meetings with my head full of new ideas and insights into ORL-related topics."

"The 2020 Upover Downunder was one of the best educational events ever, with many excellent presentations on a diverse range of topics, each instigating really valuable open discussion."
