About Event
The DENTA X dØNHO Benign Head & Neck Symposium
The Danish ENT Academy, in collaboration with DØNHO, is delighted to host THE DENTA x DØNHO Benign Head & Neck Symposium 2027. The Symposium will be held on the 20th and 21st of May 2027.
The meeting will focus on benign disorders within the head and neck field, including thyroid disease, salivary gland disorders, oral medicine, pediatric head and neck conditions, functional laryngeal disorders, reflux-related conditions, and modern diagnostic approaches including ultrasound and minimally invasive treatments.
The Symposium aims to bring together hospital-based ENT specialists, private practitioners, and doctors in training for two days of scientific discussion, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinical immersion. The program will include Danish and international speakers, panel discussions, poster presentations, and case-based sessions with a focus on translating modern evidence and experience into daily clinical practice.
The symposium will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark at the beautiful Kosmopol Conference Center.
All DENTA activities are organized on a voluntary non-profit basis. Neither organizers nor speakers receive financial compensation. This model allows us to maintain high scientific quality while keeping registration fees as low as possible. Any surplus is reinvested directly into future educational activities, hands-on workshops, and research initiatives.
We trust this Symposium will provide fruitful and inspiring discussion for colleagues working with benign head and neck disorders across both hospital and private practice settings.
The language of the Symposium is English.
