I hope that the 34th Annual Meeting of the North American Skull Base Society (NASBS), along with the 9th World Congress of the World Federation of Skull Base Societies, was an unforgettable time for all of us, bringing us together to discuss the Unified Skull Base. For 12 months, I have worked with our Scientific Program CoChairs Dr. Shirley Su and Dr. Nick Khan, along with Dr. Jacques Morcos and Dr. Daniel Prevedello of the World Federation (under the presidency of Dr. Fernando Dias) and the rest of the Scientific Program Committee (SPC) to bring you the hottest science and innovation in interactive and collaborative formats. The SPC recruited faculty from around the world, and I’m excited to share that we have over 800 speakers! We welcome the World Federation leaders and members, and we are looking forward to learning from you.
The scientific program was organized into specialty tracks, allowing easy navigation and tailoring to attendee interests. Anterior (Ventral) Skull Base, Lateral Skull Base, Head and Neck, Sellar/Parasellar and Middle Ground tracks have organized days to showcase cohesive concepts or pathologies. We highlighted a new advanced Neuroradiology Day, Chordoma Education Day, Orbit Education Day (following a Rhoton Room orbital session that evening before), Survivorship Day, and more, along with special collaborative sessions with the North American Society of Academic Orbital Surgeons (ASAOS), the Society for Head and Neck Anesthesia (SHANA) and the European Society for Sinonasal Cancer Research (EUSICA/INSICA).
