XXXIII World Congress of Audiology
September 18-‐21, 2016, Vancouver, Canada
Dear ISA Members and Affiliates,
Join us for a world-‐class adventure in education, networking, exhibitions and tourism at the World Congress of Audiology 2016 (WCA2016), the biennial meeting of the International Society of Audiology (ISA). The congress is co-‐hosted by the Canadian Academy of Audiology (CAA) and Speech-‐Language and Audiology Canada (SAC) with Conference Co-‐Chairs Kathleen Pichora-‐Fuller, PhD and Marshall Chasin, AuD.
The congress includes pre-‐congress workshops, roundtable plenary sessions, featured concurrent sessions, contributed papers, sponsored symposia, and an exhibit hall with the latest products and services. All sessions will afford delegates the opportunity to engage, share and learn in a highly collaborative setting. A diverse scientific program provides the latest innovations and research from leading professionals from around the world. Emphasis will be placed on relating research evidence to clinical practice. The full program for WCA2016 is available on the congress website.
The call for poster and podium presentation abstracts is open and submissions are due by February 15, 2016. Registration and hotel sites will open very soon. Check for updates at the congress website.
The venue hotel, the Sheraton Wall Centre, is Vancouver’s largest hotel, located in the heart of the city and close to entertainment, dining and the ocean. Located on Canada's west coast, nestled between the rugged Coast Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver offers an exciting blend of cosmopolitan amenities, natural beauty and cultural attractions.
Online registration for WCA2016 will open in mid-‐ to late January.
Information about registration rates is available online and student scholarships are available; check details at the WCA2016 website. Mark your calendars for the congress and tell your colleagues to do the same!
We, along with the Executive Board of the International Society of Audiology, look forward to welcoming you to the 2016 World Congress of Audiology. Make plans now to join us in Vancouver, Canada!
