On behalf of the executive committee, I would like to extend a warm invitation for you to SAVE THE DATE to attend the 5th South Pacific ORL Forum to be held from 16 - 19 August 2022 in beautiful Denarau, Fiji.
There will be over nine hours of educational programming each day focusing on all facets of ENT surgery with the objective of providing the best possible outcomes for patients.
The forum will once again incorporate the Annual Scientific Meeting of the New Zealand Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (NZSOHNS), Australia and New Zealand Rhinologic Society (ANZRS) and Australian New Zealand Society of Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology (ANZSPO).
As with previous meetings, the venue and destination remains an important consideration and Fiji is a wonderful tropical destination to combine work with pleasure.
We look forward to seeing you in 2022 at the 5th South Pacific ORL Forum - promoting scientific knowledge, medical advancement and the delivery of effective healthcare.

The Denarau Convention Center, Fiji
It is with regret that we announce the postponement of the 5th South Pacific ORL Forum, scheduled to take place in Denarau, Fiji on the 15 – 18 August 2021. It has been rescheduled to 16 – 19 August 2022.
We have been patiently waiting to see what our new 'normal' looks like worldwide as Covid19 restrictions lift with our paramount commitment being to the preservation of public health. Unfortunately it is becoming clear that although New Zealand and Australia (until recently) were looking good regarding their Covid19 numbers, the uncertainty around the pandemic and the effect it will have on the events industry in the next year is highly unknown. A major component that is uncertain is international travel restrictions as well as the availability and costs of flights.
The organising committee wishes to ensure the forum is scheduled at a time that will ensure the largest number of Australian, New Zealand and international surgeons will be able to attend. With that in mind, the new dates of 16 – 19 August 2022 have been evaluated with regards to the international ENT events calendar and are considered an appropriate option.
The organising committee values the contact and collegiality that in person meetings of this nature provides and we look forward to again being able to meet when the global Covid19 crisis has passed. We thank our communities and supporters for their understanding and patience as we reset out plans.
With best wishes for you and your families to stay safe in this uncertain time.
