2026 Meeting Daily

See the Science Up Close: The Scientific Program Kicks Off Saturday at #OTOMTG26

Written by AAO-HNS | Oct 16, 2026, 11:42:20 PM

The Annual Meeting offers literally hundreds of chances to learn about the scientific advances shaping the future of otolaryngology, from Scientific Oral Presentations, Late-Breaking Scientific Oral Presentations, and Best of Scientific Oral Presentations to Scientific Digital Posters in the Exhibit Hall.

If you haven’t already, download the 2026 Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO Mobile App for Android and iOS on your phone or favorite device. On your laptop, you can view the full schedule and select “Browse by Session Type” under “Education Sessions.”

Scientific Oral Presentations are short by design. In just a few minutes, you could hear an idea that changes how you think about a disorder, learn about an emerging technology, or find your next research collaboration.

And don’t miss out on the Late-Breaking Scientific Oral Presentations, which are six-minute podium presentations that highlight current evidence-based research, surgical procedures, and clinical approaches with direct application to patient care.

Scientific Digital Posters

New this year! All scientific posters will be virtual. View them anytime from anywhere using the 2026 Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO Mobile App on your mobile device. Click “Posters” to browse by track, title, or presenter.

You can also explore the posters online, download PDFs of your favorites, or view them on our new digital displays in the Exhibit Hall.

Find a poster that interests you. Then find the presenter and ask a question. For you, it might be a five-minute conversation between sessions. For someone presenting their first research project, it could be the moment they remember most.
