CUTTING EDGE LARYNGOLOGY 2016

2

We are delighted to invite you to participate in ‘Laryngology 2016, Cutting Edge Laryngology for the Twenty First Century’. This fourth annual meeting will be held over three days at the The Royal College of Surgeons of England, London on 5-7 October 2016. The scientific programme will be made up of lectures, instructional sessions and hands-on practical sessions, as well as industry sponsored satellite symposia, and will provide an opportunity for otolaryngology consultants and senior trainees, thoracic surgeons, interventional respiratory physicians and speech and language therapists to learn of the latest developments in this rapidly changing and expanding field.

Laryngology continues to be the pace-setter in Otolaryngology. Whether it be in the revolutionary change to in-office working, application of disruptive technologies or translational research, laryngologists across the globe are the first to see the future structure of healthcare.

Cutting Edge Laryngology 2016 continues our previous celebrations of innovation in our wonderful field, and draws once again upon those who are really pushing the boundaries. There will be talks from inspiring leaders in fields including airway reconstruction and tissue engineering, revolutionary approaches to dysphagia and voice care, and a special session devoted to the most cutting-edge of speech and swallowing therapy. Practical sessions as before will introduce participants to the latest office procedures, and videos to OR advances.

Our Faculty are raring to go, and will fire your imagination and change your practice and research. We guarantee.

The BLA is committed to supporting the exchange of knowledge in all aspects of diseases of the throat and to promote the highest standards of research, education and training, disease prevention and patient care, and one of the ways we achieve this is through our annual international conference. Since its inception in 2012, the BLA has continued to evolve, with steady increase in membership and an increasingly impressive portfolio of educational events. Currently the BLA has 235 Members, 207 UK and 28 Overseas. The breakdown of UK Membership is as follows: 80 Full, 78 Associate (healthcare professionals with an interest in laryngology, including Speech and Language Therapists) and 49 Trainee Members.

We particularly appreciate that industry has a very substantial part to play in the advances in laryngology. Our discipline has a long and important relationship in the technological and therapeutic aspects of industry and we wish to promote this relationship on a more regular and scientific basis, enabling the development and use of future products. We truly intend to be proactive and ‘cutting-edge’ association.

We hope you will support Cutting Edge Laryngology 2016, and look forward to seeing you in London.

Best wishes

VenueCutting Edge Laryngology 2016 will take place at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, London, UK.

The Royal College of Surgeons is centrally located at Lincoln’s Inn Fields where is has been based since 1797. Today the elegant building not only represents an institution at the forefront of surgical education and training, but also serves as a conference and exhibition venue of the highest standard. It is conveniently located for delegates travelling both within the UK and from further afield being easy walking distance of two underground lines and a short taxi or underground journey from most major rail stations, including Paddington where trains run direct from Heathrow, and Victoria, the arrival point of the Gatwick Express.

A commercial exhibition will be held in conjunction with the congress, and will be open from the morning of Wednesday, 5 October until tea-time on Friday, 7 October 2016. Lunch each day and tea and coffee will be served in the exhibition hall and the scientific posters will also be accommodated within the exhibition hall in order to maximise the amount of time participants spend within this area.

Profile of attendanceAround 300 delegates are expected to attend Cutting Edge Laryngology 2016. The inaugural conference held in London in 2011 attracted almost this number of participants, and a very strong scientific and educational programme combined with the attractiveness and accessibility of London as a venue leads us to be confident of an excellent attendance at the 4th Conference.

The conference is aimed mainly at otolaryngology consultants and senior trainees but will also attract a wider audience of thoracic surgeons, interventional respiratory physicians, paediatric surgeons, interventional radiologists and speech and language therapists.

Participants at the previous Cutting Edge Laryngology Conferences in 2011, 2012 and 2013 represented a broad spectrum of the international otolaryngology community.

Conference objectives• To showcase contemporary knowledge and outline new trends in clinical practice • To provide a forum for the presentation of high-quality, original scientific research• To promote the exchange of clinical, practical and scientific information and ideas• To give delegates the opportunity to network with colleagues• To allow participants the opportunity to keep up to date with industry research and developments

Cutting Edge Laryngology 2016 will cover all aspects of laryngology with a special focus on voice, extraesophageal reflux, neurolaryngology and laryngeal dysfunction. It will also provide an update on the current development on tissue engineering approaches to the airway. In addition, there will dedicated sessions to latest technological developments in diagnosis and management of laryngeal disease and surgical techniques.

The BLA strives not only to meet the needs of practising otolaryngologists but also to help us integrate with and learn from our close colleagues in Speech and Language Therapy. On Thursday, 6 October there will be parallel sessions on both Laryngology and SLT.

Finally, we also have a particular obligation to our trainees and there will be a session specifically for them.

Exhibition Regulations

Payment is to be made in accordance with the conditions of payment listed in the prospectus. Should the sponsor/exhibitor fail to make a payment on time, the Organisers are entitled to terminate the contract, withdraw confirmation of acceptance, make other arrangements for the sponsorship items/stand or seek compensation for non-fulfilment of contract.

The Organisers have the final decision on the acceptability of displays. Exhibitors are not to share with any others any space allocated to them without prior written consent of the Organisers. The Organisers reserve the right to alter the general layout or limit the space allotted to each exhibitor/sponsor, to postpone the exhibition or transfer it to another site should unforeseen circumstances warrant such action. Should any contingency prevent the holding of the exhibition, the Organisers will not be held liable for any expenses incurred other than the cost of exhibition space rental fees.

All exhibits are to be displayed so as to avoid blocking aisles, obstructing adjoining booths, or damaging the premises or the leased equipment. Exhibitors are asked to allow sufficient sight-lines through their stands to avoid blocking views of surrounding exhibits. Advertising panels and displays or canvassing by exhibition personnel are not permitted outside the exhibition areas allocated to exhibitors.

In standard booths, height is restricted to 2460mm. Exhibitors are responsible for the cost and execution of the design, delivery and installation of their display, and its removal from the exhibition site.

Flammable materials are not to be used and equipment displayed or demonstrated must be installed with strict adherence to safety measures. The Organisers will not approve stands which do not comply with the accepted standards until the necessary changes have been made.

Exhibition areas and fittings made available to exhibitors must be handed back in their original condition. In case of damage or loss of equipment provided, or damage to the areas occupied, the cost of repair and/or replacement will be charged to the exhibitor.

Exhibitors undertake to observe the timetable for completion of their display prior to the exhibition opening, and it’s dismantling at the close of the exhibition. Dismantling or packing of the display before the designated close of the exhibition is prohibited. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to pack and remove or consign for shipment all items prior to leaving otherwise the Organisers will arrange for their removal at the exhibitor’s risk and expense.

Access to the exhibition is authorised on presentation of a badge issued by the Organisers. Exhibitor personnel badges can be collected on arrival at the exhibition desk.

Exhibitors are obliged to ensure that their stands are permanently staffed during exhibition opening hours.
