Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure and honour, as President of the XXIII IFOS World Congress, to invite the distinguished members of The Czech ORL Society to join us in Istanbul, Türkiye, from 9 to 13 September 2026.
Held once every four years, the IFOS World Congress is one of the most important global gatherings in otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery. It provides a unique platform for colleagues from around the world to exchange knowledge, strengthen international collaboration, and discuss the future of our specialty.
For IFOS Istanbul 2026, we have prepared a comprehensive scientific program covering the full spectrum of our field, with the participation of more than 2,000 distinguished faculty members and colleagues from over 100 countries. A rich social program will complement the scientific sessions, offering our guests the opportunity to experience the unique history, culture, and hospitality of Istanbul—a city connecting Europe and Asia.
We are particularly pleased to see the strong participation from your country in IFOS Istanbul 2026. I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal and sincere gratitude to you for your valuable support and contribution throughout the preparation of the Congress. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to you, your society, and your colleagues for your valuable participation and support. Your strong representation contributes greatly to the scientific and international spirit of the Congress.
