"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 conference is held in the Hotel La Cacciatora, in the town of Alba di Canazei in the Dolomites, Italy. The Dolomites is a World Heritage listed site and rivals any other place in the world for its beauty, diversity in landscape as well as its geological and geomorphological significance.
This conference, with its spectacular setting is the coming together of like-minded surgeons for the exchanging of ideas and expressions in their specialised fields.
