A Message from the Conference President

On behalf of the planning committee, I am delighted to announce the 8th International Congress on Bone Conduction Hearing and Related Technologies (OSSEO) will be held in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, US. We have an exciting program planned that will allow participants to share recent accomplishments, renew friendships, extend networks, and explore current and future research and clinical directions. I hope that you will have a productive and fun experience at this premiere conference!

The Colorado School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology is privileged to host this year’s conference. The Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center will serve as the conference hotel and venue. The hotel was selected for its value, space, and location. The hotel, located in south Denver, offers many amenities, including a complimentary shuttle to nearby attractions and public transportation. Please make your hotel reservation early, as rooms may reach capacity.

For nearly 20 years, OSSEO has provided a forum for clinical and scientific experts to share their tremendous contributions, resulting in improvements in research and care. The 2023 conference program centers around 3 carefully chosen themes to support our future vision of improving care around the world: Evolution, Sharing, and Global Hearing Health and Advocacy for Conductive and Mixed Hearing Loss. Thank you to our participants for their submissions of cutting-edge abstracts, and the 2023 OSSEO Scientific Program Committee for their expertise in reviewing. Selected presentations and posters are the foundation of the conference program; I hope that you find the program impactful to your practice. Please monitor our website for program updates.

Finally, I would like to extend an invitation to our networking banquet at the Denver Art Museum on Friday, September 6th. Participants may purchase a ticket at registration, which includes transportation, dinner, drinks, and a private gallery tour. I urge you to make attending this conference a priority—both to learn and to share. I look forward to seeing you in the Mile High City!

Sincerely,

Stephen Cass, MD, MPH/MSPH
