A warm welcome to Neithal 27
Dear Colleagues,
It gives us immense pleasure and pride to invite you, along with your family and friends, to NEITHAL 27 – the 29th Annual Conference of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, Tamil Nadu State, to be held on 20th, 21st and 22nd August 2027 at the enchanting coastal destination of Kanniyakumari.
Organised by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, Kanyakumari Chapter, NEITHAL 27 is envisioned as a vibrant confluence of academic excellence, innovation, collaboration and camaraderie, bringing together ENT surgeons, residents and students from across Tamil Nadu and beyond.
The conference promises an enriching academic experience with an extensive scientific programme, hands-on workshops and engaging sessions covering the evolving frontiers of Otolaryngology — providing not merely a platform for learning, but an opportunity to share ideas, showcase research, discover innovations and build lasting professional connections.
Set against the spectacular confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean, Kanniyakumari offers a unique setting where the richness of nature, culture and history comes together. From its breathtaking sunrise and sunset to its vibrant heritage and warm hospitality, Kanniyakumari promises to make NEITHAL 27 an experience to remember.
The organising team is committed to creating a memorable three-day celebration of knowledge, innovation and fellowship, complemented by the distinctive cuisine, culture and warmth of the southernmost tip of India.
We eagerly look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to NEITHAL 27.
Come, learn, share, connect and celebrate with us at Kanniyakumari.
