Dear Colleagues,
The 8th IFHNOS World Congress will be held in Brisbane, Australia, in August 2026, in collaboration with the Australian and New Zealand Head and Neck Cancer Society. The Congress will be centered around the theme “Global Harmonization of Head and Neck Cancer Care through international collaboration.”
Brisbane city and the Southbank precinct, the site of the conference venue, is an ideal location for a meeting. Brisbane has a relaxed subtropical feel, while at the same time it has all the facilities, restaurants and entertainment venues that will make it a memorable experience for delegates, accompanying partners and families.
There is a real vibrancy to the city as it prepares to host the 2032 Summer Olympic Games and is the gateway to many of the places people love to visit when in Australia such as the Gold Coast and Great Barrier Reef.
IFHNOS is made up of over 70 member societies across 58 countries, and so this will truly be an engaging international head and neck cancer conference for the ages. Along with the organising team, we plan to deliver an exciting 3 days of a high quality scientific and social program.
I do hope you can join us and contribute to what I anticipate will be one of the most successful IFHNOS meetings of all time. I look forward to welcoming you to Australia.
Sandro V Porceddu
