Baltic Ear, Nose & Throat and Head & Neck Surgery Conference 2026
The 9th Baltic Ear, Nose & Throat and Head & Neck Surgery Conference 2026 was successfully held in Estonia. The beautiful late-spring days of Tallinn welcomed our participants from 4–5 June 2026 and provided an excellent setting for this memorable event.
Organizing this conference was both a pleasure and a valuable experience. We were delighted to host 360 participants from 26 countries, present 42 accepted abstracts, welcome 20 industry partners, and enjoy a memorable social programme, including the gala dinner at the Seaplane Harbour of the Estonian Maritime Museum. The conference created countless opportunities for inspiring discussions, professional exchange, and new collaborations.
I am deeply grateful to and proud of our entire team (@Kristel Kalling, Linda Sõber, Mihkel Plaas, Maria Suurna), including the local and international organizing and scientific committees representing the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian societies. Your dedication and hard work were essential to the success of the conference.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our industry partners for their invaluable support and collaboration. Your contribution was essential to the success of the conference, and your active participation helped create a dynamic environment that fostered innovation, professional exchange, and meaningful dialogue.
I was truly inspired by the outstanding presentations delivered by our distinguished speakers from around the world. Your insights and willingness to share knowledge greatly enriched the scientific programme and contributed to a stimulating and intellectually rewarding experience for all attendees.
My heartfelt thanks go to all participants, speakers, partners, and the entire congress team. It was a privilege to share this journey with you, and I truly enjoyed every stage of the process.
I look forward to meeting you again and joining you at the next Baltic ENT Conference in Latvia in 2029. Until then, may the Baltic Chain remain strong!
