Call for Abstracts

The New Zealand Society of Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery invites submissions from those interested in presenting oral papers and poster displays at the ORL 2026 ASM.

We believe your expertise and contributions would greatly enrich the conference, and we encourage you to submit an abstract for consideration as an oral or poster presenter. This will enable you to share your valuable insights and research findings with the national ORL community. All abstracts must be submitted electronically via the Online Submission Portal on this website.

All presenters must register, pay and attend the Conference. Acceptance of abstracts into the program is contingent upon receipt of the registration fee. Notification of abstract acceptance will give presenters the opportunity to take advantage of the early bird registration rate.
