OTO Experience: Engaging with Colleagues

The OTO Experience provides myriad opportunities to engage with other attendees, leaders in the specialty, industry partners, and 180+ exhibitors representing a vast array of products and services.


People networking

The OTO Experience features a comprehensive display of the latest products and services available for advancing the specialty of ear, nose, and throat care. With over 180 exhibitors in the OTO Experience, attendees are able to participate in hands-on demonstrations and explore innovative products and technology that can help improve their practices and enhance patient care.

"The OTO Experience is a huge opportunity for both domestic and international attendees,” said Daniel C. Chelius, Jr., MD, AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting Program Coordinator.  “It’s a theme park for the otolaryngologist—to walk through the hall and see the new technologies; to have easy access to buy whatever you need to augment your practice right now; in many ways, to be kicked in the brain about what’s possible!

“I think our industry partners do a great job helping us think in an innovative fashion. Every year I come home from the OTO Experience with at least one or two follow-up calls planned with industry partners to consider if I can integrate a new technology into my practice. If you are in the OTO Experience, it is impossible to walk out of there without being wowed by something ... and maybe with a new pair of loops too."

Centrally located within the Philadelphia Convention Center, the OTO Experience provides myriad opportunities to engage with other attendees, leaders in the specialty, industry partners, and the 180+ exhibitors representing a vast array of industries that specialize in surgical tools, robotics, imaging and video, diagnostic technology, and more.

The OTO Experience is open:

Sunday, September 11 | 9:00 am - 5:30 pm (ET)

Monday, September 12 | 9:00 am - 5:30 pm (ET)

Tuesday, September 13 | 9:00 am - 5:30 pm (ET)

The OTO Experience is known for creating an environment where science, education, and industry work collaboratively and encourage mutually beneficial partnerships within the house of otolaryngology. All exhibits, education, and networking opportunities offered within the OTO Experience serve the common purpose of supporting otolaryngology-head and neck surgery to advance patient care.
