ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM: Care of the Professional Voice
50th Anniversary Symposium: Care of the Professional Voice

We recognize unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and thus, our plans for the 2021 Annual Symposium remain flexible. If possible, we will host an in-person meeting (or a limited version thereof) and we are also planning for the eventuality of a virtual meeting, an extensive virtual symposium.
CALL FOR PAPERS: We look forward to receiving your abstract submissions as of September 15th.

What is the Annual Symposium?
The annual symposium is a five-day meeting featuring advanced programming presented by leading professionals in the voice care field. Papers, Posters, Workshops and Panels are presented to educate the scientific and artistic communities about advances being made in voice science, care and training. Voice professionals, including surgeons, scientists, speech-language pathologists, voice teachers, performing artists and students from all over the world come to gather the most up-to-date research findings, therapeutic techniques, and improved surgical methods in the field of voice medicine. They network with colleagues, see product demonstrations, learn cutting-edge techniques and earn continuing education credits.
It is a CME and CEU -accredited Voice Symposium.
The program is designed to foster future researchers and teachers. As part of the symposium, we give young researchers an opportunity to talk with and learn from senior scientists by first presenting their research as posters and, as they progress, as oral presentations.
