Industry Round Table

At the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), we believe that forming a substantive relationship with industry companies allows each of us to leverage the important work of the other. We each benefit by working together to better serve, and communicate with, the otolaryngology – head and neck surgery specialty, its practitioners, and patients. So for the first time, AAO-HNS is launching an Industry Round Table (IRT) Program and we invite your company to participate.

The Academy’s IRT Program supports a year-round relationship designed to generate maximum exposure and interaction for participating companies. By participating in the IRT Program, your company will be able to leverage the world’s largest otolaryngology membership, a 6,000+ person annual meeting, and a world-renowned otolaryngology scientific journal, all to your company’s advantage.

The IRT Program combines the collective assets and strengths of the entire AAO-HNS organization to deliver access, visibility, and recognition throughout the year to participating companies. We work jointly to promote our partnership, through official designations, recognition advertising, and special positioning at our annual meeting. We also position our IRT partners, as supporters of the Academy’s initiatives, to address the most important issues facing otolaryngology today—from training and quality care to humanitarian efforts and evidence-based practice research.

Partnering with AAO-HNS provides your company efficient access to a universe of otolaryngologists and the opportunity to target specific subspecialty audiences of industry professionals, all within one membership base and with one relationship. So whether you’re looking to boost your company’s profile in otolaryngology, showcase your support of a specific subspecialty, or network with VIP leaders, AAO-HNS provides the ultimate gateway to the specialty. With access to more than 12,000 members, AAO-HNS is an ideal way to demonstrate your company’s commitment to the specialty while having access to the broadest range of otolaryngologists.
